Description of the problem | 2016 focus rs. I have only had the car for a year. Randomly the car starts blowing out a very light white smoke while idling (from what i have observed.) after multiple attempts at contacting my local dealership they seem to believe it is the head gasket with a defect. This smoke is only noticeable when idling. Also i was only able to get a significant amount of smoke to develop when putting the air conditioning on full blast. |
