@Pureet Jun 16, 2020MemberFor the last couple of weeks I see white smoke coming from the exhaust system. The smoke gets stronger and thicker every next time I start the engine, what could it be?

White smoke coming from the exhaust pipe when the engine is hot can be caused by the coolant getting into the cylinders. The coolant has no sufficient time to completely evaporate when the fuel burns out. This results in a rather thick white smoke. The coolant can get into the cylinders through the damaged gasket or cracks in the cylinder head or cylinder block.

AJUSA engine gasket kit 50151300, water pump with HEPU gasket P045, it is better to contact a specialized service before ordering to identify the problem.
