If your car is emitting black, white or blue exhaust smoke, the engine has problems that you need to identify quickly. Like smoke signals transmitted by a tribal chief, exhaust gases hide an important message. If you don't catch it in time, you will open your wallet wide. Below, you will find out what faults could be behind the different colors that the smoke emitted from the exhaust pipe can have. ⚫ Black exhaust smoke More often present in cars equipped with a diesel engine, but also found in gasoline ones, this smoke can announce problems with the electronic engine management unit, worn spark plugs, worn injectors or air filter failures. You could also be dealing with intake problems, caused by a sensor failure in this subassembly. Secondary causes of black smoke include a faulty fuel pressure regulator, exhaust deposits or poor fuel compression. To avoid black smoke, check the injectors, avoid driving under the influence and do not deactivate the particulate filter. ⚪ White exhaust smoke Except on cold days, when it can actually be generated in the form of steam, strictly from the condensation of water in the exhaust system, white smoke is not at all a message of peace. On the contrary, its release can signal malfunctions of the injection pump, coolant leaks, turbine or water pump failure or damage to the cylinder head gasket. If you drove aggressively, used low-quality antifreeze or did not pay attention to the level of this liquid, you can endanger not only the cylinder head, but the entire engine block. Choose a quality antifreeze and top up its level on time, and white smoke will not spoil your driving pleasure. ???? Blue exhaust smoke Sometimes, the situation is really blue, and when you're dealing with this type of exhaust smoke, you know for sure that you'll have to go to the service station. Beyond the puns, you could be dealing with a faulty turbine, improperly closing the valves in the combustion chamber, or oil leaking out of the exhaust. If you don't want to deal with blue exhaust smoke, choose to change the engine gaskets and rings on time, and if you have an old car, use additives. Now you know what problems the color of the exhaust smoke indicates. All you have to do is check, from time to time, the technical condition of the engine, without any sign of alarm.
