Today my car ran fine until the afternoon. I tried starting it and it wouldnt start. It would crank forever and nothing. Finally I got it started and then white smoke puffs started coming out (bad). It only came out when it started and then went away. Tried to start it again and the same thing (still bad). It smells like antifreeze burning (very bad). Drove my car around for about 15 min. and noticed car temp needle rising fast (very very bad). Have not driven my car since. I have a feeling my motor is going to drop his kids off at the pool (extremely bad) if you know what i mean. I have a feeling it's a water seal. Is it easy to fix or should i say goodbye and do a turbo swap? Any help will do. If anyone else is experiencing this or has.... i'm feelin you and it suks. Anybody got any advice or help, physically, mentally or emotionaly anything would help.

 

Yes.... yes you do.

Bad coolant seal.

Pull the egi fuses-
fill the coolant ALL the way up.
open the upper fill cap.
Have someone crank, while you watch for bubles or exreme amounts of coolant pouring out the top.

Its fitting all the signs of a bad coolant seal- which means new motor/rebuild.

 

yes i what?
