Blown cylinder head gasket , water from the cooling system is entering the cylinders via the head gasket thus emitting steam through the exhaust system. Depending on specifics of engine I have repaired this problem several times without prior mechanical knowledge simply by following insttructions in Hayes manuals, do not let garages fool you into the "oh the head will need lathed etc " just ensure that you keep pistons clear of any loose fragments from the old gaskets removal , the Hayes will guide you through this with a sufficient socket extension kit, no prob £50 -60 if you do it 300- 450 if a mechanic does it , for a ! hour job you gotta be kidding!
might have a blown head gasket
its farting
White smoke in the exhaust means water is being burned in the engine. A small puff of white smoke the first time you start a car in the morning is normal. Water condenses in the intake, and engine and when you firsts start the engine it burns off producing a puff of white smoke. It is nothing to concern yourself with unless the car is constantly blowing white smoke.
corsa 1.5 diesel lumpy at start up with white smoke from exhaust returning to normal after a couple of minuets
Cold start
White smoke at start up is due to moisture in the exhaust or on a diesel it can be normal due to the engine being cold.White smoke at start up is due to moisture in the exhaust or on a diesel it can be normal due to the engine being cold.
possible blown head gasket. I don't get white smoke from my exhaust! is it from yours? If it is just after you start your car it is normal.
the smoke that comes out of a exhaust pipe is supposed to be white
Sounds like its burning coolant. Perhaps it needs a new head gasket....
My understanding of exhaust smoke is that Blue is oil, Black is unburnt fuel, White is unburnt diesel on cold start. The main question would be, how much smoke and when does it do it?
oil burning . Condensation.
i have 05 e55amg and just notice white smoke from the exhaust when i start the car and i will drop it off to the dealer to check what the hell is wrong and i will update as soon as i find out.
