I have an 07- Alto which I use for travelling to Fasilabad. The car performed exteremely well till Sept-08 about 1yr after purchase. While driving in city noted blue smoke in my rear view mirror, the smoke was so much I could hardly see thru. I returned home and noted the car was smoking, opened the hood and could hear strange popping noise, when I opened the oil filler cap the oil started flying over my face within minutes all my clothes and the engine was full with oil splater.
I took the car to my local mechanic he told me that oil needs to be changed and it will be OK. Believe me he changed the oil and smoke stopped, but engine continued to pop.
Realizing some thing was wrong I took the car to 3S dealer, they assured me they will correct the fault.
When they opened the tappet cover, the first thing I noted was that a bolt which holds the cam shaft was lying near tappet spring, the reinstalled that nut and tightened the others. Then they took apart the tappet cover, there is a paper gasket under the filler cap they refixed it with silicone, the readjusted the tappets, installed new spark plugs and tapet cover gasket. The car stopped smoking and no strange noise.
However, when ever I start I can still smell burning mobiloil, more over the tail pipe which always was brown is now sooty black. This indicates that the whole episode did effect the engine. Comments pls.
