Exhaust Smoke Causes

exhuast smoke

First of all, it must be said that the exhaust smokes that are normally emitted from your car's tailpipe are invisible. You should see a faint and short-lived exhaust note that quickly disappears after appearing only when you suddenly accelerate. If your car emits visible exhaust fumes, chances are you should take it to a specialist.

White exhaust fumes from a car exhaust gases that come out with no force and rise very high (may be above the roof) but then disappear without a trace when your car is idling, may just be water vapor. This exhaust does not smell particularly bad and appears at low temperatures or when there is humidity. If this is the case for you, don't worry. If the white smoke from the exhaust does not disappear, is thick and smelly, then it is related to a coolant leak.

In this case, the coolant level of your car must be low. Have your car checked by a professional to confirm this leak and prevent the engine from overheating. Check the collection tank. If you see the coolant boiling, it means it has leaked into the combustion chamber. This is caused by exhaust gases leaking into the cooling system. If your car has these symptoms, you should have the engine checked by a professional immediately, as this can lead to serious problems.
