Hi Rojie the Alphard has done 84,000 cheers 👍🇺🇦😎.

Hi Rojie many thanks for your comments and you knowledge about the Alphard, l will be asking a few more questions also do the hand test, change the fuel to E5 and also do the full oil change with filters. I will be doing each test over a period of time to see if there is a change with the smoke or steam so l will keep you posted on my findings many thanks again cheers 👍🇺🇦😎.

Good evening guys hope your all well, this is just an update on the Alphard l have which is using alot of oil but also showing lots of smoke still coming out of the exhaust when the vehicle is first started. It still drives amazingly well with no issues but after being in three independent garages all doing different tests ; 1st Garage pcv valve all good. 2nd Garage checked the engine and also lifted the car up on ramps and noticed that there was alot of water coming out of the exhaust, l mentioned to him that l never really need to top up the coolant so this is a mystery to where this amount of water came from. 3rd Garage the vehicle was put on a diagnostics machine checking the pressure in the engine for cylinder head gasket also piston rings everything is showing that its ok. The next thing I'm thinking of trying is to do an oil change . Also someone has mentioned that it could possibly be the type of fuel because of when they did some changes last year, so maybe l should try the more expensive one, l do welcome anyone's input and thoughts on this issue many thanks cheers 👍🏻🇺🇦😎.

Hi Jojie hope your well, the Alphard is a V6 and the problem is still happening, I'm now trying to get the pcv valve but not able to get one yet so if anyone knows a good supplier that l could try that would be really helpful many thanks 👍😎.

I'm trying to get a contact in the Cheshire area who can get parts for my Alphard, l am trying to get a pcv valve but obviously l want to make sure that l get the right one so any contact details would be really helpful cheers 👍🎅😎.

Thanks for all the help and advice l will certainly be looking at the PCV valve as the first option, is there a good contact for the Alphard parts in the UK this would be really helpful many thanks again 👍😎.

I have a Alphard 2003 and it runs fantastically well but when l start the vehicle from cold it shows white smoke for the first 2 minutes, l have filled up with oil twice within 4 weeks so it's obviously burning oil, so the first thought is piston rings which is a massive job which the local garages don't want to touch because it's an inport, this is going to be very expensive unless anyone can suggest anything else that may solve the problem . Somebody mentioned that there could be a PCV valve that can get stuck open and suck oil out of the valve cover into the intake manifold as well so if anyone could offer advice it would be very much appreciated many thanks 👍😎.
