Hi guys posted in general ealier in the week (prob the wrong place ) so i'll give it a go here ,

Last friday i took her in for its service at my local stealer and got her back with no probs , but however my car has now started to smoke on tickover after a run of any kind i.e fast , slow , long , short , its never done it before so i decided to check the oil level not long after switching it off (therefore the level should show lower than full ) and noticed that it was still just fractionally over the FULL mark , firstly would over fill cause this smoke and secondly will it damage anything if it is overfilled ,

I have since checked it after a good few hours to get a true reading and its still over the full mark , the smoke has a smell of burning oil and tonight after A short run to check it out i've been getting fine droplets of oil coming out of it ,

I'm off back up the dealers tomorrow morning so thought i'd get some sound HONEST advice from fellow snetters along with some amo if required .


Any help / advice will be greatly appreciated



Dave

please help

 

Take it back to the stealer mate.. Tell them it wasn't doing it before the service and you want it sorted free of charge.

 

You wish. No way thats gonna happen. A garage, working for free, have I missed something?

 

yeah i thought about ging down the road of "its your mistake you sort it " but you know what there like , either way its gonna cost me again ,
