Ok guys my car has been acting super funny latelly, yesterday it was overheating and i drove it home but keeping an eye on my temp gauge but i didnt overheat, then i drove all the way home and nothing happened. So i decided to give it an oil change and then wash the engine compartment. So i did all that then i started the car, it was normal for a while and two minutes later it started to idle really bad and now it throws white smoke from the exhaust anybody have any idea what could be wrong with it.

check your coolant. color should be green (or red depending on what coolant you use)

if it isnt, try flushing and filling the coolant. that may solve the overheating problem. do a compression check as well. that will tell you if its a HG.

eee wtf happened.

make sure its white smoke, because white and blue are really hard to see unless you're in a dark surrounding. but that overheating issue makes me lean toward a coolant leak, = bad hg

go SR yo!

he's right... fuel not properly burned (not much heat) will turn white

not enough air and too much fuel will turn black

it was from 3 sites, and a couple forums. it was awhile ago i would have to search for them again. but the reason was that i had white smoke coming out of my exhaust so i did some research, but in the end it ended up actually being blue smoke, so yea turbo was gone
