Hi all, new to this site, but hoping someone may be able to help.
Bought a 2006 aurion, drives great, doesnt loose water, still has the power you would expect.
When i test drove, there was nothing out of the ordinary, when driving it home however.....when taking off there was masses of smoke comeing out tailpipe.
Pulled over and when you put foot on gas, heaps of smoke comes out, got it home, used heaps of oil. Ended up changing oil(did flush also) and put in new filter.
Seemed ok, took to work, but when the car gets to operating temp it starts blowing heaps of white/grey smoke, and i mean heaps, probably burnt through 3 litres of oil on a 60km trip.
People have said valve stem seals -but seams like too much oil loss for that.
Other thought cracked head or head casket -but not losing water or running or ideling rough.
Someone did a compression test on front 3 cylinders, it read very low, but wondering if that would be a correct reading as if there was low compression in 3 or more cylinders,would it not be lagging power, its definitely has got plenty of power.
Is there something that could be causing oil to be vacuumed straight into exhaust when the car gets up to temp?
Any advise or thoughts would be great,
Thanks.
