Brett_j Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Usually white smoke indicates a stuffed turbo. Overfuelling usually leaves a black residue near the exhaust area on the car,get it to a mechanic if its pinging,we just melted a piston from pinging,in the time it took for us to diagnose the pinging noise to melting the piston was all of 2 minutes.
