white smoke?

[edwardsvtr]

probs me just being paranoid, or ignoring the truth, but when i start my car, vtr mk 2, theres quite abit of white smoke coming from the exhaust, now is this just because its cold, or is the head gasket going or gone?

any one had this trouble before, or with any info which will help me out.

cheers

likley that its just cold only just started, warm the engne and turn it off and start again see if it does it, check for white gunk under oil filler cap
tbh i think its just cold!

thanks for that ill have a little check for "white gunk" and report back

[biteme]

lol no problem buddy

[edwardsvtr]

right no white gunk, so could just be when its cold, ill take it for a drive tommorow and take it from there
cheers

if its the head gasket its normally thick white smoke.. not the normal light white smoke thats their untill the water in the exhaust is gone :O normally 5 mins
