Car STILL smells like burning oil?
2003 Ford Taurus 155K
Car was smoking, smelling like burning oil.
Took to Midas. Head Gasket was leaking oil onto manifold, egr valve, oil pan set, water pump, timing cover gasket. All new wires and plugs. After that was done discovered that my car was leaking anit-freeze. Had to go back and have them fix that.(hose came disconnected). A couple days later noticed the thermos stat wasn't working correctly anymore(they replaced that too) had to bring it back, they told me a story about how some cars thermos stats go up and down when they accelerate and decelerate.( my stat goes to the middle but drops all the time and goes back up. They looked at it and said nothing was wrong. About a month goes by, may car starts reaking like oil again and smoke comes shooting through my ac vents. Had to take back AGAIN. Turns out my oil pan gasket was leaking onto manifold. So they fixed it free of course. Now 2 weeks later after they fixed that, my car continues to reak of burning oil. I understand a couple days after work is done it can still smell. But weeks after? WHAT do i do now? Take my car back to them again? Or have a different place look at it? And find out if midas ****** up again. Because i'm about sick of midas.
Added (1). sry forgot to put that head gasket was replaced
These people are bozos. They are incompetent and liars. Go elsewhere. Much of this is damage they have caused.
- Ford Taurus smells hot after driving? I have a '99 Ford Taurus SE, 24 valve V6 It smells hot when we get home from any trips. I constantly have to check the oil in it. The car dealer we got it from had a newer engine put in it after it ran out of oil and seized up. I swear I did regular maintenance to it. 5 quarts of oil burns pretty fast inside a month. Something was wrong with the first engine. Are these engines notorious for problems? It's the only thing we have ever had issues with on the car.
- 90 Ford Ranger 2.9 exhaust smells like sulpher? Now it just has no power and dies while driving it but usually starts right back up. Sometimes I do have to wait a while before it starts.
- My transmission fluid is dark colored and smells burnt? 2010 Ford Fusion Sport The fluid smells burnt and is dark colored. The transmission still shift normally. I'm thinking that the fluid has been in there since dealer. I have found other parts in the vehicle like the air filter that was from dealer. The transmission filter is not serviceable.
- If a Ford is burning a litre of oil a week is that much? This guy I know had an old Ford and he had to put 1 litre in it every week as that is what it burnt. I consider that a car with a bad oil burning problem. Do you think the same?
