Passat (B5) :: 2003 - White Smoke On Acceleration After Replacement Of Broken Oil Pan?


Oct 9, 2012

I recently broke the oil pan, my husband replaced it after about a month of waiting for new one to come. (Im afraid I didnt turn the car off in time and did something to the engine.) All was good after fixing it until after about a week of driving it i noticed some white smoke coming from tailpipe as i was accelerating to get on the highway. Drove it home and no smoke, drove it some more and NO smoke as getting on the highway! But then again a few days later it did it again!!! The car runs good no loss of fluids, no milky oil(not the head gasket) I would never know anything was wrong if I didnt have to get on the highway to go to town and see the smoke. I have been racking my brain on this computer trying to figure out what could be wrong? Someone followed me and said they smelled raw fuel from the exhaust smoke. But i dont know if its its an injector, I think its from breaking the oil pan??? But i dont know ???? Its a 2003 vw passat 1.8t 67,500 miles just bought the car so dont know much about the history. Seemed to be taken well care of so I dont know.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 - White Smoke Under Acceleration / Going Uphill

Having issue with a 2003 jetta 1.8t. I bought it used and it seemed to run great. Sometimes going up hills i get white smoke for like a minute (probably in too low of a gear when it happened).

Happens on the highway sometimes too if i punch it to pass somebody (like already going 60, punch it to 80). I've read other posts here to get some ideas (turbo going bad, etc.) It seems to coincide with a lack of power or stumbling in the gear I'm in...

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Still White Grey Smoke After Replacement Of Rings On Injector?

I replaced the rings on all 8 injectors put in 8 new glow plugs and a relay. My truck is still putting out grey/ white smoke at start up. It goes away after about a minutes. Truck runs a little rough a first then smooths out. I know some smoke after doing a job like this is to be expected but I was thinking I t would go away by now. I've been running through my head what I might of done wrong but I can't think of anything.

Does it just need all new injectors and not just rings ?

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Smoke / White Haze Under Heavy Acceleration On Occasions

My truck 00' 7.3 255k is smoking white. It's not thick its more of a white haze. Sometimes it does it sometimes it doesn't. It has a 6637 intake, exhaust, and wicked wheel. No tuner or such. Im thinking either the turbo is going out or maybe a leaky injector? Just checked the turbo wheel and it has a little side to side play. On start up itll puff white then go away but then under heavy acceleration on occasion there is a haze of white then goes to haze of black. It also feels like the truck is lacking some power. There is no oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil. Not consuming oil or coolant. And there is no excessive pressure coming out of the oil fill.

Elantra GD (2013+) :: Massive White / Gray Smoke On Acceleration

I have a 2013 GT and my wife a 2011 sedan.

[URL] .....

I've looked it up and didn't find any reports of it happening to the GT. (I admit I didn't look too hard!)

It happened to my wife's 2011 sedan when accelerating onto the highway. Just as described in the "massive smoke" thread. I couldn't see the car following behind me, the smoke was that bad. No exaggerating!

-- no check engine light
-- no change in temp
-- car drove fine immediately afterward (we babied it till we got home)
-- oil level and colour OK
-- coolant OK (overflow between lines)
-- next day car felt fine during full-throttle 80-120 km/h acceleration.
-- mentioned it at dealership, with service adviser, service manager and mechanic all listening to the story. They were stumped but offered to look at it. Adviser suggested a "BG Products fuel induction" treatment, which I'm assuming is bogus. (Haven't had a chance to check into it)

My web searching suggests the car had a "carbon blowout" cuz my wife rarely drives on the highway. I've heard of this but always thought it was just a myth. I mean, seriously, have you ever actually seen a car throw up a James Bond smokescreen just cuz it hadn't been driven hard? I'll betcha five bucks that if I took my mom's babied 1997 Camry onto the highway and floored it, nothing would happen. So what's up with the Elantra?

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Engine Stumbles And White Smoke Pours From Tailpipe Upon Acceleration

I've got 120,000 on my 08 manual Accent. Recently I've been getting white smoke after running it hard. It happens like this. I slow down from 70mph or so with the clutch engaged to about 40mph, then upon acceleration the engine stumbles and white smoke pours from the tailpipe. My guess is a leaky head gasket.

I had the dealer go through it. They pressure tested the cylinders and put a scope in them. They claim nothing is wrong with the engine.

I mentioned since they can vouch for the engine now, I'd like to get an estimate on trade in value. I don't think I want to keep it much longer.

Camry 2012+ :: SE V6 Emit Screen Of White Smoke At Stop Light With Normal Acceleration

What is probably causing this white smoke on my 2012 camry se v6 with 105190km? Randomly, the camry would emit a screen of white smoke after stopping at a stop light with just normal acceleration (this is a LOT of smoke, something to be embarrassed about for a 2012).

Passat (B6) :: Bi-Xenon Broken As Colored Changed From White To Pink?

Pulling in to the underground car park at work this morning I noticed that my nearside Xenon has gone from a nice bright white colour, to a dirty pink. The offside is still shining brightly - does this mean the bulb is on it's way out, and if so how much is that going to cost!?!? The car will be 4 years old in October - does this seem a little premature - if it's not a failing bulb could it be something more sinister.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2005 - Smoking White Or Gray At Idle But Blowing Black Smoke On Acceleration

Well my problem went from bad to worse. My 05 started running rough at idle, then smoothed out a bit but started smoking on acceleration a little. At this point it felt like it had more power than ever before and even ran smoother running up to 3k RPM before shifting (manual transmission). But now it's smoking so bad, I can't really drive it. It's smoking white or gray at idle but blowing black smoke on acceleration. I had a cylinder 5 contribution code but with the amount of smoke it's hard to believe only one injector is a problem. I pulled the EGR valve and it doesn't look stuck open but I'm going to replace it anyway.

Passat (B5) :: 1996 - A/C Malfunction - Blowing White Smoke

My 96 Passat GLX-VR6 Wagon is blowing a white smoke that smells like maple syrup if I do any temp adjustments on my AC. It's also not blowing any cool or cold air in the coldest setting. Any thoughts? Heater Core? Just need freon?

Passat (B5) :: 1999 - Thick White Smoke At Idle

1.8 turbo 99 passat that is smoking a thick white smoke, doesn't smell like oil, doesn't smell like coolant, not gas either. Compression checked good, no bubbles in the coolant, no coolant in the oil. It only does it when you let it idle for a while but when you drive it the smoke goes away, clears out so to speak. Its an automatic,wagon if that makes a difference.

Passat (B5) :: 2004 - White Smoke From Tailpipe / Coolant In Oil

I have a 2004 passat 1.8t which currently blows heavy white smoke from the tailpipe; coolant in oil and vise versa; when I open the oil fill cap / dipstick white smoke blows from there also. At first I thought it was the head gasket so I replaced it and resurfaced the head. What i noticed was burned oil on the sides inside the head. After putting everything together the smoke never quit blowing and after couple of hours the fluids mixed again. After reading the forums I took off the oil cooler and tested it by submerging it under water and hooking compressed air to the water lines -- no bubbles came out of the sides. Maybe I tested it wrong while the it is the oil cooler all along? Could it be cracked head? block?

Passat (B5) :: 1998 - White Smoke From Tailpipe When Starting Up

I just purchased a 98 Passat 1.8t with 100k and noticed when I let it warm up for more than 10 minutes I start to get white smoke from the tailpipe and the ground underneath the pipe is wet. I can't figure out if its a head gasket because my coolant hasn't gone down too much or if its a problem with the turbo.

Passat (B7) :: 2014 - White Smoke Blowing Through The Exhaust

I was on 285 tonight in Atlanta and had a very hard time seeing because of all the white smoke. I thought some old GM car or Ford was billowing white smoke through the exhaust.

When I finally caught up to what was the cause I was shocked to see it was a Passat. A 2014 at that! 1.8 Turbo. I followed her into a Kroger Grocery store parking lot and parked as close as I could. She was unaware that her car was smoking out of her exhaust. I told her she needed to bring her car to the dealer asap and have them look at it. The white smoke was coming out of her exhaust even after she turned the motor off. She had no clue. I would say she was in her middle 70's age wise. It think she talked to me because I was in a Passat that "looked" like her car. Interesting to me to say the least. What could this possibly be?

Passat (B5) :: White Smoke Coming Out Of Hood When Engine Turned Off

I've got this weird problem , it started a month ago. Sometimes I would drive for half a hour, park the car, stop then engine and some white smoke comes out of the hood after a few seconds. But sometimes I can drive the same amount of time, park, stop the engine but no white smoke.

The only time I did notice it happening is when my temperature gauge isn't working properly , sometimes it will give the right reading (which is right on the middle) and while driving it will drop to 0. Also sometimes there is a smell of rubber burning I think (Doing my best here). But I've checked Google for people with my problem but all I read is either people with tail pipes issues or smoke directly in the drivers cabin. My white smoke is only when I kill the engine. There is no smoke coming out of the tail pipe nor in my cabin. Only a rubber burn kind of smell.

Passat (B5) :: Turbo Leaking Cause White Smoke To Blow Out Of Exhaust

What are the repercussions of my turbo leaking, and how do I fix it? Could this cause white smoke to blow out of my exhaust when i take off after the car idles for about 10 minutes, the smoke goes away, but if I let it idle again for about 10 minutes it blows out more smoke. Also the oil consumption is really high, obviously due to the oil leak, is the turbo bad, do I need to change it?

Passat (B6) :: Volkswagen TDi Using More Coolant - White Smoke / Steam On Start Up

I have a volkswagen TDi 1.9 automatic which is using coolant more on short runs than on motorway and produces white smoke/steam on start up even when not cold which disappears after a few seconds. Other symptom is doesn't accelerate though goes OK when once up to speed. Have has cylinder head checked and new gasket so that is not the culprit and also new heat exchanger. There is also a gurgling noise which seems to be coming from the dash board though I am not sure if these things are related. I have read that the automatic has a water cooled EGR, could this be it??

Passat (B6) :: Small White Puff Of Smoke When Accelerating From A Stop

B6 Exhaust smoke issues. I'll be taking the car into the dealer for a look.

Car has 2,500 miles, and I can't see any smoke while driving. Only someone following me sees it. It's only a small white puff of smoke when I'm accelerating from a stop. I'm told it doesn't last long, and is just a small puff, not a cloud.

Passat (B5) :: White Smoke And Tapping Noise - Check Oil Pressure?

I've got a 01 passat 1.8t awm that I just replaced the head gasket and timing belt on. upon starting it up, i got a nasty tapping noise that went away above about 1200 rpms. also, white smoke came from under the turbo and out the back of the car.

I checked the cam bearings-all look good. also checked oil pressure at the sending unit-35 lbs idle at startup and 60 lbs at 2500 rpms at startup. Good compression on all cylinders.

Today I found a small piece of plastic laying behind the cam chain tensioner that had broken off. I'm thinking the tapping noise is probably from the tensioner.

So I'm thinking that 1 of 2 things is going on:

1) low oil pressure from a clogged oil pickup tube or something is starving the turbo of oil (causing smoke and maybe ruined seals), and also caused the tensioner to break.

2) oil pressure ok, turbo seals going on their own and tensioner broke from wear and tear.

I'm cool with replacing the tensioner, but i want to make sure that i've got good oil pressure before i ruin another one. if i had good oil pressure at the sending unit, does that mean my pickup tube is ok? any other way to check oil pressure? could I plumb a tee in at the turbo to check oil pressure there? i don't want to drop the pan if i can avoid it. also, it looks like someone else has dropped the pan before (lots of red silicone smeared everywhere) so i would guess that the sludge has been cleaned already.
