Right got abit of smoke guys its white and happens on stand still looked on youtube but their pnes are like a steam train, mines not like it,
Its not cracked from what i can see, and im not losing coolant could it be the stem seals?
Car doesnt get revved let it warm up itself but its annoying me
Help
 
It could be condensation from the exhaust. Mine does it sometimes but only when the weather is cold, doesn't happen with warm weather.
 
Yeah i did think that as there is abit of water that comes out.
But when the revs go up theres more of it but been told that it hasnt been for a proper drive yet as atm its sorn.
So not sure whether to replace the lot or what u know
 
If it has not been driven lately and been stored outside then it will be just water that condensated and is trapped inside the exhaust, mine was the same. If it is the same after a longer run then I would investigate, but until then there's no reason to panic.
 
It's probably all the condensation in the exhaust burning off if it's been sat up for a while. If it continues then keep an eye on your coolant level and take out the plugs and see if the tips are coolant colour
 
Ok dudes cheers i do panic abit lol theres nothing on the plugs as they are fresh in the other month and have checked the other day.
But will keep an eye hopefully it goes
 
Sounds like it will be ok. We all worry as these cars are our pride and joy.
 
itll be condensation mate,mine does it even if its in garage but ive no heating in it,just take it a good drive to blow it out lol
 
Ok lol will give it a run nextweek, hopefully it is that as im wanting to take it to daz for a remap but want it running right
 
Yeah when I just got my EK4 there was a lot more smoke than there is now didn't really bother me as car had been sat around all levels were fine it does drink oil though especially in vtec
