Thanks, e46...good distinction. There's just so darn many cars out there with dangerously low tire pressure (and bad brakes...and bad exhaust...etc)

Agree with the auto advice above except tire pressure should be checked when the tyres are cold.

I'm not into pimping my ride, so to speak. I hate pimp mobiles. But I'm into serious car discussions. Depends what you guys want to do with the group.

In case of black smoke, park your car, get out of the car n away frm it... and if its steamy kinda smoke, DO NOT do as novita sez... cuz if u open the radiator cap while its hot, u'll get a geyser kinda splash of hot water in your face n get burnt...

I agree with e46...park the car immediately.

There can be several causes. If overheating, you will have a more whitish smoke mixed with steam. Do not just put water in the reservoir...you will need to use anti-freeze, but you will also need to have your thermostat checked out.

If its greyish/blackish smoke, you're burning oil and you most likely have a broken head gasket or valve...both of these conditions are indicative of the worst case scenario.

Also, don't forget to check your tire pressure every time you refuel.

What color is the smoke, han19? Is it white or greyish/blackish? Has anyone worked on it recently?

You're supposed to park the car immediately.

smoke coming out from the bonnet probably your car over heating, you will need to put some water in radiator when the engine cool down.
