Diagnose the problem through your exhaust?

When you think of your car and what makes it fast or reliable or
efficient, you probably don't think about the exhaust. There are many
different exhausts out there but they all allow you to see what's going
on inside your car, just through the colour of the smoke they emit.

The exhaust system is responsible for transporting the burned exhaust
or combustion gases, from the car's engine and out through the tail
pipe. The exhaust system is basically just a long tube attached to the
engine and extending out the rear of the vehicle. It consists of many
parts including the exhaust manifold which is attached directly to the
side of the engine and is the first part to receive the burned exhaust
gases. There are also the exhaust pipes which take the full blow of the
exhaust system along with the muffler and catalytic converter, all of
which keep your car going.

If you are not a mechanic or a car expert and find yourself out driving
alone when your car starts spouting coloured smoke through the exhaust
pipe, the colour and density of the fumes may help you diagnose the
problem and therefore make the right decisions to ensure you can get to a
garage safely.

The best kind of smoke to come out of your exhausts would be colourless
meaning that all is well inside the engine and is generally a sign of
good vehicle health. There are, however, four bad colours to look out
for when driving.

If the colour of your smoke is white, that means anti-freeze may be
burning in the piston cylinder. While this may not mean anything to you,
a mechanic will find that this has happened because of a cracked head,
blown gasket or cylinder block.
