Title: white smoke
Post by: gpenny07931 on 12 October 2012, 12:04:36

Is it normal to have white smoke until the car gets up to temperature? Sitting with the car running at work there and noticed alot of white smoke until the car heated up.

Just sounds like water vapour to me.
Just keep a eye on your coolant bottle level  :y

They can smoke quite a bit, as long as you are not using lots of fluids (oil/water) you should be fine  :y

Fixed that for you, Tunnie.. ;D Mine does, anyway - smokes (well, steams) like a goodun until it's had a run.
