Smoke and engine break-up
I have a problem that is two-fold.[/align][/align]My troubles started when my mechanic of 20 years[/align]retired. This leads to my first question;[/align][/align]Can someone recommend a reputable service center[/align]in the Dallas, Ft, Worth area?[/align][/align]Now my problem. My 2000 XJR has suddenly started[/align]smoking and using oil after 78K. It is also breaking up[/align]at high RPM.[/align][/align]I have read some posts that talk about white smoke,[/align]blue smoke and black smoke. I don't seem to fit in these[/align]areas. My smoke is a medium shade of gray with the[/align]smell of gasoline.[/align][/align]Can someone please help? I have heard it all from the[/align]dealers in central Texas. From a new engine to normal[/align]oil consumption.[/align][/align]Thank you.[/align]

RE: Smoke and engine break-up
yikes! doesn't sound healthy...to either your car or people behind you. I haven't had to service my car outside of oil changes and brakes, and such...and the dealer is about to get the nod to fix my suspension, so I am afraid I don't know other jag techs in the area. sorry. if u do find a good one, post it up in the regional thread that deals with that exact topic. wish you luck.

RE: Smoke and engine break-up
what do you mean by breaking up at high rpms.? and how much oil is it consuming?

RE: Smoke and engine break-up
At speeds over 100mph the engine seems like it wants
quit. I'm burning about a quart every 1200 miles |
RE: Smoke and engine break-up
the oil burning is a little excessive..
