It doesn't use much water and there's no oil/sludge in the rad/under the oil filler cap, so was just wondering what the cause may be?

I know in cold weather cars tend to chuck out more condensation from the exhaust, but mine seems to do it the majority of the time (even when warmed up) and more or less since I've owned it. Sometimes under hard acceleration it will emit a massive cloud of the stuff.

Just had to renew the tax on it, so I could really do without that Also forgot to add it gets quite hot when stationary for a few minutes. Will try bleeding the cooling system when the weather warms up a bit, see if there's an airlock. But if there isn't... ________________________________________ High boost '6 for weekends406 2.1 Executive for weekdays |
