Hi all Volvo V40 owners,
I have a problam with my car and I just wondered if anyone else has had
this problam ,
when I turn the ignition on the cars starts and the i rev it up to two thousand
revs ( to get the choke off ) then I went round the back of the car to see
if any lights had gone and I realised a big puff of smoke was coming out of the
back of it ( the smoke cloud just about filled the street with smoke ,
( the street only has 18 houses on it )
so please email me if you have more enquries on
alexhowarth54@hotmail.com
thank you
Alex Howarth

Excessive smoke comes from 1 of 2 problems.1 Blown headgasket. 2 Bad turbo charger.

Hi, I have just read your posting regarding your smokey V40 turbo. From my experience, smoking at start up could be caused by worn valve guide seals. Has your car traveled a high mileage?

Regards.

I just started having this problem. Large amount of light/blue smoke coming out of my exhaust while I am accelerating. No water in oil, or oil in radiator overflow. I also have a strong fuel smell coming from exhaust. Any thoughts on what this might be?

Light blue usually means oil.
Have your turbo checked.

Next you need to do is a compression test and leak down test to check for bad rings and valves.

If there is no communication with the ECM then the car will run really crappy.
It wont know how much fuel to use or anything like that.
