Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting canouanislander New User Apr 7, 2011, 2:01 PM Post #1 of 3 (2990 views) intermittent white/blue smoke Mazda 5 Sign In 2006 Mazda 5 sport, 2 litre diesel. 62k Am having problems with intermittent billowing smoke - after driving a short distance (sometimes 500 yards, sometimes a couple of miles) the car suddenly billows smoke out the back for about 30 seconds or so and then stops. It happens both whilst moving and sitting in traffic. Happens so far approximately 1 in 8 journeys. No warning lights showing, just had full service, oil change etc, and DPF reset. Garage can find no fault as wont smoke for them! ANy ideas would be really appreciated. techforfree User Apr 9, 2011, 8:14 AM Post #2 of 3 (2972 views) Re: intermittent white/blue smoke Mazda 5 Sign In Hate to say it but it sure sounds like a headgasket seaping coolant into the combustion chamber someplace..are you adding coolant ? canouanislander New User Apr 9, 2011, 12:39 PM Post #3 of 3 (2966 views) Re: intermittent white/blue smoke Mazda 5 Sign In Hi - thanks for the reply, I have only just bought the car so havent added coolant, cant even say I know where that is! The Mazda garage I took it to could find no reason for the smoke as of course it wouldnt do it for them. Do I need more coolant do you think?   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
