over heating white smoke

Es 8 April 2005 01:29:46
 i hav a 1990 saab 9000 cd 2.0 turbo and the thing runs really nice but
there is white smoke comming from the tail pipe it idles right at
800-900 rpm really nice runs good too but what is with the smoke (lots
of steam i think) and it over heats whn sitting still i replaced the
thermostat but thats not it so i thik it might be the fan switch i got
a boos controler and it is at 12-13 psi right now is the white smoke
the head gaskit? and can i drive it?

yes, in general; overheating and white smoke is a good indication for a
blown head gasket, or worse, a cracked head.
and can i drive it?
not for long

Could be the head gasket but it could also be the turbo.
My 9-5 started blowing white smoke and it was the turbo - replaced
under warranty, fortunately: perhaps a bit late for warranty for the
9000....

Go to a mechanic and have a leakdown test performed, that'll tell you where
the problem is. 95% chance the head gasket is blown.
