sweetcal66 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Alrite people anybody got any tips to find out what kind of smoke is coming from the exhaust? White smoke when I start my car in the morning and then goes once car has warmed up? Cant smell any burning oil is fine. Any ideas on what and how to check would be great, or if someone is in north east would be better. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 At start up, if white, could be condensation. Are you running it for short journeys? If so, you need to give it a good long run and really get the engine and oil up to temperature. If it's blue and a touch oily then it would point to valve stem seals which is pretty normal and not a massive issue. At least you're safe in the knowledge it's not a blown turbo seal!!

ellis Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Sounds like condensation then - give her a good, long run. 10 miles is barely enough to get the girl up to temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
