Pckwpckw Neutral Newbie January 29, 2013 Author Share January 29, 2013 This thread is talking about engines hor. Seriously.... do engines ever break down? Normally I only hear gearboxes Engine sometime will lose power and release a lot of white smoke and they will fail the compression test. At time u need to overhaul the engine to change some of the parts. Singaporean use to change car every 3-5 years thats why seldom have this problem. But down the road when coe is so high u will see a lot of car start to break down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
