You should put the coolant hose to the right place, and do an oil change.

drain the oil put new oil and fix that hose and see if it fixes the problem. If you continue to have the same thing then its probably the headgasket

If you can't change out the manifold, I suggest taking it back to the shop.

They fukced it up afterall. You don't seem like you are in any position to be trying to fix this yourself.

And no. Coolant in the combustion chamber IS NOT gonna blow your headgasket. If it is blown its a coincidence or it overheated somehow in the process. But simply having coolant burn off will not. Take it to the shop.

What a shady shop. They *** **** up and don't even fix their mistakes?

To switch around a couple hoses, hook up some sensors and changing the oil can be done in under an hour.

But a shop will probably charge you at LEAST twice that for labor plus diag.

If you can do it yourself that would be the best, since the shop won't back up their work.

But if you truly can't or don't feel confident I would try another shop.

Dude... CALM DOWN!!!!

change the oil, put the lines back where they belong, and reconect the sensors...

OF COURSE your car is spitting out white smoke... you were running coolant into your combustion chamber... when it burns it makes white smoke.

Chances are everything will be fine when you sort it out... but NO ONE can tell you if it's ok till it's all sorted out.

- Drain the oil
- Make sure no more coolant lines are running into the intake
- reconnect all the sensors
- check the coolant level
- refill the oil

Start the car and let it run for a bit. Check the oil again (you may need to change it twice).

Chances are it's fine.

take it to a NTB ask for the good oil change service. before they start the oil change they put in a liquid emulsifier in to the old oil and run it for a few minutes. so when it drains the emulsifier helps bring out most of the junk/even gunk.

the head is fine. Plug the ****ing hoses into the right place and then change your oil. Hope that your rings havent gone bad. Bye.
