Hey Guys,

I bought a 03 v35 350gton friday. and it has started troubling me already.

The car feels very smooth and has no problems at all. However, there is alot of white smoke. ALOT! when idling its there but small amount but when accelerating its really bad. Like a smoke bomb.

It doesnt smell sweet and doesn't seem like its coolant. Don't know though. The car feels really nice to drive. Has alot of power too.

I have premium warranty with it. so before i take it i just wanted to find out if any of yous have noticed this b4.

Can it be coz of bad fuel? maybe fuel in the car sitting for too long?

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Vish.

Anyone live near bentley W.A who can help?

Its happening all the time. weather its hot or cold. i even took it for a long drive to get rid of the fuel and filled up with fresh fuel from BP(98) and no difference.

Its been serviced just a week ago i think. Bought it from Lynford Motors in Osbourne park. They even serviced it. but the oil on the dipstick looks very light. maybe they used a very light oil. Otherwise car feels fine. I am scared to drive it.

I want to take it to a import garage to change the oil but i am scared the premium warranty will get void as it states i need to take it to the authorized ones only.

any advice.

Just opened up the Oil cap and noticed sludge in the engine? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/369048-need-urgent-help/page__gopid__5883442#entry5883442

its now pissing me off. they mentioned they have done a 100 point check which included engine and oil condition. but they didn't notice the sludge. can i take it back and get a refund? or can they fix it up? is there any law that says they have to fix it if its only been a few days? i don't know what i am even saying now.

any help will be appreciated.

cheers.

i'd be taking it back to them and demanding it to be fixed or you want a refund. if they try and say that the sludge wasnt there when they did the inspection. kick them in the balls for me.

Head gasket cracked? Coolant mixing with the oil and probably has coated your radiator also. Hope it hasnt gone into engine internals.

take it back immediately. They wont give you a refund, but make sure they fix it correctly.

Thanx for the advice guys. i checked the coolant and its not moving.its been at the same place. And the coolant looks green and has nothing else mixed in it. cant see anything.

When i drive the car, its smoking whiteish and blueish smoke. but looks more whitish. and it smells like rubber burning. something like that.

I am just worried they might not fix it properly and that is the only car i have. need to go to work too.

Ah, will see what they say tomorrow.

Cheers guyz,

Vish.
