Expert: Roger Patricio Date: 7/17/2008 Subject: Cutting out and grey smoke
Question Hi there, we have a Volvo 940 SE Turbo and it keeps cutting out, there is also a hell of a lot of smoke coming out the back. we know it may have something to do with the head gasket but have no idea whereabouts that is. neither of us know a thing about cras but we just can't afford a mechanic so have to try to fix it ourselves. I just havn't a clue where to start. can you help in any way please.
By the way I'm over in the UK so not asking if you could pop over and take a lokk! - LOL!
Thanks
Ursula
Answer Ursula, If you both do not understand anything about cars, how am I supposed to help you? A head gasket job is not an easy job for even the novice mechanic. It may be a bad turbo hose or a bad Turbo charger itself causing all the smoke. Does the car run rough? Would love to make a trip to the UK. Havent been there yet. Roger
