Hello Scotty,
My friends Mazda CX9 produces white smoke even after engine is warmed up and has a hesitation to start. 2015 model with 60,000 kms. He is the first owner.
Company says that its a exhaust issue and it would cost over 500 Kuwaiti Dinar (2500 USD).
However, looking at your videos, I believe it would be a head gasket which is blown. Right?
The block leak tester is on Scotty's tool page, available on Amazon for $27, if you can do that in Kuwait.
Managed to get one from Ace hardware in Kuwait!
Likely is the head gasket. To confirm pull the spark plugs and check each chamber with a borescope. If it is coolant the top of the pistons will be clean from basically being steam cleaned by the coolant during the combustion process.
It was. Thanks a lot!
Hate to say it. Your head gasket is shot. Do what the others said only way to know for sure
