Hi Guys,
Just driven home (10mins drive) and noticed that white smoke was coming from the exhuast.
I know that some white smoke is there when the engine is cold, but it was up to temp.
Do i have a problem. I heard something about the head gasket causing this a while ago on the other forum.
Any help much apprieciated.
Cheers
Ben |

probably condensation in th exhaust.
Where do you live? (valley, mountain peak etc)
Whats the weather like?
What sort of drivign do you do?
When I had the saab it always kicked out steam from the exhaust, even after a blast to edinburgh and back, I once stuck a new downpipe on it and a good 2 litres of water poured out of the exhaust, gathered condensation nothign else.
On the old 16V hatch I had to empty the mid silencer of water, George helped, there was gallons. |
