Dear Sir,

Good Day!!!

Recently my car failed during vehicle inspection by authority due to white smoke from engine. When i went to local mechanic, he advised to change the engine with used one since repair cost is quite high than changing the whole engine. Accordingly i agreed and give the vehicle for repair. Unluckily, he has changed the engine with 1.5 L (my previous engine was QG18, Now it is QG15). The vehicle is working normally except some missing during turning or idling (The mechanic advised to change the spark plug as exising one could be very old).

Please advise if any other issue can occur in future due to to change in engine size.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, Thank you for the response. I have replaced all spark plug and its seems clear now.

Kindly advise any other issue can occur in future due to change in engine size from 1.8L to 1.5L.
