As long as it goes away when warm and it's not losing any coolant then it's perfectly fine.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

When the engine has been running and is then switched off, during the cooling process condensation occurs inside the engine, exhaust and other parts of the system. When you start the engine back up again, this condensation has to be burnt off and this causes white smoke from the exhaust. Providing it goes away after a couple of minutes, it's fine. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
