Fishman 1st Gear May 25, 2012 Share May 25, 2012 My 2-year old car emits quite a lot of white smoke when starting in the morning. Running the engine after a while, then no more. I did not experience this situation when the car was newer. Is it normal? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakusop Clutched May 25, 2012 Share May 25, 2012 Have your engine ever overheated? May need to bring your car to workshop to diagnose. My case, my gasket cracked causing white exhaust smoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never. If gasket crack, then white smoke not only starting but all the time, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count-Bracula Twincharged May 25, 2012 Share May 25, 2012 My 2-year old car emits quite a lot of white smoke when starting in the morning. Running the engine after a while, then no more. I did not experience this situation when the car was newer. Is it normal? Duuno whether it is normal but I always see white exhaust from the car in front every morning. Due to cold morning air?

Kia0042 2nd Gear May 25, 2012 Share May 25, 2012 (edited) It is normal. It happens in the morning or during cool weather when you did not drive your car for more than 12hours. The white smoke will disappear after about 3-5km drive. p/s: I feel the smoke looks cool especially with dual/quad exhausts.

XenonWhite 1st Gear May 25, 2012 Share May 25, 2012 if u drive during winter in some other countries, "white" exhuast will be constantly coming out.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee 1st Gear May 25, 2012 Share May 25, 2012 Never. If gasket crack, then white smoke not only starting but all the time, right? Hair line cracks might not resulted in constant visible white smoke all the time. It can build up after prolong engine off, hence seeing it every morning. Normal? Not entirely sure.. Just watch out the drop in all cooling liquids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishman 1st Gear May 25, 2012 Author Share May 25, 2012 Best way is to bring it to the workshop to get it checked, which I'll do so in the next couple of months. Will update all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually emailed my AD for an explanation, but nothing heard so far. You need to look at the weather. I remember my place last night heavy rain. Confirm it will be cold and today white smoke. If last night super dry and hot and today morning will not have smoke. Anyway, you can also smell your exhaust to know if you are having any problem.
