hi guys, some of you may remember a couple of months ago my car was pummeling out white smoke ....cut a long story short...the turbo went boom...
i thought it had gone again this week but i don't think it is the problem ...
over this week it has happened twice ... On dab down to overtake , the biggest puff of white smoke emits and the car goes eratic through the gears...high gear and over reving and low gear as in idle mode ...after a few seconds it seems to be ok once it went eratic ...
In normal driving conditions it's fine and changes gears ok ...no sign of smoke and will excellerate ok, but since the episodes i dare not attempt it ...
to be honest guys i seem to be loosing all faith in merc/benz , only had the car 18 months and have had more problems with this model than any other car combined ... ( bought second hand from evans halshaw ) and you never know why the previous person got rid.....
Any advise on the possible cause , would be more than welcome ...has anyone else suffered this problem ..
thx
