SMOKING ENGINE

SMOKING EXHAUST
Bought a Verona at the beginning of the year. Has done abot 15,000 miles but has spent the last 8 weeks in the shop waiting for a new cylinder head to be shipped over.............the original had a design fault and sucked oil into the cylinders thru the pcv valve.
So over 2 months off the road.........reg, insurance, depreciation and lack of use.
Not happy.
Anyone else know anything about this problem...........clearly a design defect in the early releases.

I heard that the very early releases had some bugs in them. Thankfully, those bugs were fixed for 05 Veronas. Sorry about your problem!

Just last weekend my 04 Verona started to putter. Sort-of breaking down under throttle. Went to the shop, (a bit over and hour away) they told the wife it was the number 1 cylinder. It wasn't smoking or nuthing. I think it is a bad injector. They disconected something and told the wife to drive it home and will call when the part comes in. Got an appointment for saturday am. We'll see then.
