Alto VXR 2007: White dense smoke, engine burning oil and coolant

[maisam.merchant]

Took the car to my old mechanic today. Gasket was in good condition, which means that this was not about the HG. Only 4 tiklis (as he was calling it) were tubed with magic and he bought a steel head gasket from pib colony worth rs 300. Changed the oil as water was mixed. And nothing else... I didn't had time today to make a test drive... just came home after a 4km drive... I will update this thread tomorrow after a medium test drive to see the temp levels and how much radiator water is getting decreased.. Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst

Hose pipes newly installed, radiator 1 year old and last week services, water body is good and revolving water checked by suzuki danish motors, margalla motors and one mechanic at jamshed road... everything is done... Just need to check heater pipes beneath the dash for leakage or blockage or anything... Well, there's no water on the floor mat, so might not be possible for a leakage... Still, I will check those out pretty soon... Now I just need a test drive to see what is the future of this car, should I keep it or should i sell it All depends on the test drive tomorrow

Can you please tell me your car's mileage when this occurred?

If you are using local made cap then it is the culprit. Replace it with original one

I think you should replace thermostat too. Since that is a vital component responsible for sensing when the water circulation to the engine should start and stop. And from the vlogs/articles I read, when changing head gasket, re-surfacing of the engine head is a MUST if your car has overheated in the past which holds true for your case. Engine block warps and deforms as a result when it is overheated. The surface on which the head gasket sits becomes uneven and that is why the head gasket broke in the first place. So it is only common sense to resurface the block otherwise the original problem will never get fixed.

Hope this brings some clarity!
