Car Forum / Saab Cars / June 20041994 Saab AERO 9000 (TURBO) - Smoke problems after replacing head gasket
This is a 94 Saab (Turbo) AERO 9000 with 125K miles. I have replaced the headgasket couple of weeks ago. Since then white smoke (oil burning) comes out when the car comes to a stop or when it is starting. The white smoke is 'visible'- so much visible- that a cop stopped me the other day and asked me to get an e- check. I am puzzled? Can u help? Do you think there is some problem with the turbo part? > out when the car comes to a stop or when it is starting.

Yes- the head was machined and all the valve seals were replaced and seated properly. What do you mean failing turbo? > > out when the car comes to a stop or when it is starting.

FWIW, generally oil smoke is described as being a bluish grey and white smoke is coolant being burned. -Fred W > This is a 94 Saab (Turbo) AERO 9000 with 125K miles.

Quite, which is why I was questioning the head and whether it had been checked for flatness/cracks. David. |
