Strange smoke.
Strange smoke.
Hello
Got some smoke from my new engine, hope you can tell me if this is normal or not ( just 20 miles on it ).
This happens when the car sits outside on a cold night. And when I start it up the next morning.
At first I got no smoke ( or whery little ), then after around 1min, I get white smoke frome the exhaust. This continues around 1-2 min, then it stops and the exhaust is "normal".
I dont loose any coolant, or oil. And the plugs look good.
My theory is that this is condensation from water traped in my headers/exhaust. And after 1 min the heat is enough to let it condens.
But im no expert..
thanks

Re: Strange smoke.
White smoke is burning water/antifreeze.
If the antifreeze level isnt dropping then its gotta just be the moisture in the pipes/mufflers
