W12 has spat all the coolant out and i have clients to pick up on friad need help asap please

The white smoke points to 'burning' water which is usually a head gasket.

Big job on that engine I'd think. No easy fix if it is.

Diagnosis is first as you need to find which bank. Try plugs off one at a time to see if you can find the dodgy cylinder(s) ie no white smoke or still runs the same, just don't run it too long or it could burn head/block interface.

Good luck!

its a new engine and the smoke is not coming out of the exhaust its from under the bonnet the water is coming out as quick as i can get it in there with a hose pipe its coming out the bottom just as fast, sounds like a hose that has burst or something, if its a head gasket then i dont think the water would flow out as quick as what it is

well .... i hope

I read the referenced thread and though it was white out the exhaust.

It doesn't look as if it's a head gasket with your latest explanation. Could be water pump or a simple hose burst.

You need to pinpoint exactly where it seems to be coming from then look at a drawing and see what part of the water works is nearest.

I't not a common engine so it might take a while for someone who 'knows' to come along!

White smoke ESP if theres lots equally a water leak have you checked rad / water pump and hoses?

Sound like it has popped a hose

If it's going out that fast my bet would be that whoever put in new engine did not secure one of the hoses properly and it has come off. Seen it before and must admit did it once myself after head gasket job. Forgot to tighten clip on one of houses and it came off some 2 weeks later.

That was my thinking

Will this help?
