When my other half went to put the car up on ramps smoke came out of the fans.does anyone know why this is?
Answers:
You've got oil burning. You've either cracked a head or cracked the block..or if you're lucky it's just a bad gasket. Have you been changing the oil every 3000 miles like you're supposed to?
Sounds like you may have a coolant leak.
cos its knacked
THE SMOKE THEORY
A theory has recently been postulated asserting the great importance of smoke to the functioning of electrical components. According to this theory, it is smoke which makes components work because every time you let smoke out of a component, it stops working!! It seems this claim has been verified through extensive field testing.
As with many great discoveries, this has eluded the great minds of our time by its very simplicity. Of course, smoke makes all things electrical work! Remember the last time smoke escaped from your power supply? Didn’t it stop working? On a system level, a wiring harness carries smoke from one device to another, and when the harness springs a leak, it lets the smoke out of everything at once, and then nothing works. Some systems require larger quantities of smoke to operate properly. That’s why the wires going to them are bigger.
Of course, there are some aspects of the theory which require further investigation. For example, one would think that persons who smoke cigarettes would be much more healthy from ingesting all that smoke. Experimental data seems to contradict that hypothesis. Perhaps smokers are actually exhaling more smoke than they inhale.
It could be oil burning on your manifold if the car is on a gradient then this could be your answer
could be that the uptip of the car sloshed a fluid onto the motor and its just burning off but more info would be need to help..like why your puting the car upon the ramps in the first place
So been driving it hard. Like faster than you should. Putting lot's on miles on it. Is it old. Any of thoses answer would tell you time for new car. Now you said Fans. Question the fan on the engine or the fan for the a/c and or heater? The engine could need new fan belt. Or water pump going out or something not turning when the motor running and fan belt is being smoke. Now fan for a/c and/or heat. Need to fan motor.
it sounds like you have either a loose fan belt or a loose electric connection check both to make sure
don't worry its only the clutch burning
As the "fault" only occured when driving onto ramps, then the problem is most likely to be connected with that action, as this takes an amount of clutch control then I am pretty certain its the clutch plate over heating. If there was also an acrid smell this will confirm. Once the car has cooled down, it will be fine.
Take care.
