By lifting the lid and taking the fuse out? Will try to figure out how to do this tomorrow

one thing to try is to switch off the gas emulator and run it entirely on petrol to see if the misfire and smoke remains. my LPG mechanic said it could be that the petrol and gas are burning together?

Compression test was fine Piston rings Iv been told full engine rebuild and thousands of pounds

One more thing a mechanic has assumed after revving the engine that it is the piston rings at fault as he believes oil is going into the piston rings and hence the blue/black/white smoke coming out and misfire. Im shocked that he was able to diagnose that by just revving it. Not sure what it...

Guys, could you advise how to open the LPG lid in order to check the gas emulator? is it safe to do so? Apparently just use an alan key and lift off the lid

So apparently the smoke is burnt oil and petrol not coolant, as it has a smell and is not steam, if that makes sense

a lot more then two bottles unfortunately. Did three ignition coils and pcv valve. My issue now is, putting in the juice prior to selling may not be the best option for leaking vaporiser seal, and if I try it and it doesn’t work. Will see on Monday.

we are going outside my realm of understanding. Will make some calls on Monday with this information (thank you). One of the main things I can gather is cut the LPG off and run it on petrol.

no idea how to do this but seems like a good idea. Have someone coming to view it on Tuesday as spares and repairs. If I can do this prior would be ideal.

it was serviced in March, will see.

would this work for a leaking seal in the vapouriser/reducer? mechanics have said it’s not the head gasket and have been advised by people on this forum not to use steel seal due to the adverse affects the liquid can have on other parts of the vehicle.

One thing is, coolant level was okay today, probably at minimum, and the engine is not overheating when driven. But misfiring is awful and that white smoke, would make James Bond proud (smoke bomb)

thanks for this will ask the mechanic to give it a go on Monday

thanks so get the mechanic to check for a leaking seal? Are we saying it’s a head gasket issue again? Worth getting that sealant?

Update: Changed one more ignition coil, engine stopped misfiring, no check engine light, car drove great. Few days later problem returned. White smoke from exhaust, misfire, check engine light, there is no coolant or oil leak. They did a compression test and no issues. Everything pointed to...

Update: Repaired PCV valve, 3 ignition coils Feels like it was pointless Issue still the same, white smoke intermittently from the exhaust Something I have noticed, the white smoke is less when run on petrol, seems to be on LPG when it happens Car is still for sale as spares and repairs

Did the above repairs with the said mechanic. Took the car for a test drive and was spitting oil from the exhaust and loads of white smoke causing an obstacle for others on the road. They must have fitted the pcv valve incorrectly! Or something else? Just a headache honestly!

He specified the three. Hopefully this will sort it out. Makes me wonder if the others will go soon too.

Advice needed: Mechanic inspection has led to believe 3 coils are misfiring. They have suggested I replace the 3 coils and the spark plugs LPG mechanic advises PCV valve, mechanic says everything points to the coil pack. Should I change the PCV valve too? The spark plugs were done in March...

The LPG expert says the same and trying to explain to the garage who are saying take it to the LPG mechanic, need a solution.
