Other Problem - Smoking, Strange Smells etc
Please give a description of the issue experienced; the more detailed, the better. If you are not entirely sure what the problem is, don't worry. Just explain as best you can.
The vehicle smokes too much. The coolant has to be filled up every day. Car is not starting at all now, was standing for 4 months since I bought it in December. I think the battery is too small. Never heard the fan go on. Was told that the leaking coolant could have resulted in the smoking and the water mixing with the oil as the oil is milky and this could be the result that the head gasket must be replaced, not sure but it makes sense. I need a quote or does the vehicle need be booked in and checked out first and what the costs would be for a check up? I have a warranty on the vehicle as well and they require a quote on all the findings prior to any work being undertaken.
