These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sitting waiting for tow.... while getting on highway white smoke out the back. Pulled over shut it off... when came to stop no weird noises from motor. Any ideas? Shop said maybe aos? Don't think ims b/c of no rattling marble in bottle sound. Will find out Monday.

Out of curiosity, have you checked your oil level? What is your current mileage?GLM

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Took it over to beck's in scottsdale. Sounds like it will just be the aos. May do ims upgrade as well since tranny will be dropped. Oil levels been right as of last week when I filled up gas. This cars never burnt oil.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Diagnosis- AOS. While tranny is out.... update IMS, RMS, new clutch (little life left, but not enough to not replace), flywheel(burnt and out of spec), and flux capacitor. Looking forward to seeing the difference and not having to worry about the damn IMS bearing. Hope I don't need anything for a while now.
