ep91steve Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Right car at garage the now! They said a put 2litre to much of oil in the car (tit a am),they said that could be the problem. Oil is clear not milky or that, heaters working as far as a member. No smoke out off exhaust more like condensation and car has only been started up few times in last 2 month for about ten minz max Quote Link to post Share on other sites
