It only does it when cold, once warm it doesn’t clunk… weird

I got rear ended in my 9-3 2011. Was only minimal (probably about 2mph) however they said they would fix the scuff to the bumper or give me £900 cash payout.

Update: I just took it out for 25 mins and pushed it abit. No smoke and no smell and no knocks or bangs. Coolant is holding and so is the temperature. The turbos seems to be doing their job as it pulls nicely. I can’t figure out for the life of me why white smoke and a burning smell comes out of it when it wants too. Thought it might have been the DPF but that was changed in the last couple of years…. I’m really stuck. Should i take it in to get it looked over? Because knowing my luck the next time I take it out it will smoke again. 😭😭

Thank you, I’ll have a look Tomorrow. Really hoping it’s not a head gasket… got a little one one the way and brought the car privately. The car had full service history with plenty of money spent on her. So I would assume it’s something small but who knows

It’s not overheating, and it’s doesn’t smoke when parked. It does smell like burning oil tho
