jim_supra Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Firstly what colour is the smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Condensation. Probably nothing to worry about. Sustained white smoke plus pressure in the coolant system would mean head gasket failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 How about if its the nasty blue oily smoke? One puff then clear, especially if its been left for a week or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul372 Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 no its not head gasket oil is fine and there is no pressure in the coolant system and no lost of power, i thought it might be the turbos but its fine when its running and boosting or to much oil but oil level looks ok. i have a blitz nur spec exhaust would that make a diffrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_supra Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 A Nur spec will just make it smoke a little bit more than a stock exhaust on start up that's all. well, it did on mine anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 If it's a puff of Blue Smoke on startup from cold then MAYBE Valve Stem Oil Seals. If it's more white then as above, just condensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
