Volvo Repair: Grey Smoke, check oil level, headgasket
QuestionJust bought a 1995 850 Turbo...it was smoking blue/black smoke. When I got it home, it's smoking a steady stream of greyish smoke. When I cut it off, it wouldn't start up again immediately...waited about 1 hour, and it started. Seems to run fine with good pick-up, but steady greyish smoke. I've been told that it may be a fuel problem (something being put in the gas tank), or that it's a head, block problem. Any ideas?
AnswerZach, It can be a number of things. Check oil level. It may be overfull. It also may be a headgasket. The no start issue may be a fuel issue. Check all the rubber turbo hoses for holes. Anything else would have to be checked out by a Volvo shop. Roger
