Excessive amounts of smoke from exhaust
Exhaust is smoking really bad(white smoke).
The car over heated a few days ago, top rad hose hot, bottom cold.
I removed thermostat which turned out to be faulty. Replaced it with a new one. Heaters started blowing hot, cold, hot ,cold. I put this down to an air lock. tried bleeding the system today and replaced oil.
The car started smoking slightly before the overheating issue but has got worse.
The car drives as normal without any problems, also boost is as normal.
Any ideas??
MY99 uk 2000
V5 sti bottom end
TD05 18g
etc, etc 350bhp approx

Are you having to top up the coolent alot? Any Mayo, best way to check this is take the swan neck think off that the oil cap screws onto (2 12mm bolts hold it on i think) and check where it bends, on mine it gathered there and not in the cap.
If its smoking all the time then waters getting in and evaporating constanly.
When my engine failed, the HG went too and i got constant white smoke. Not tonnes but i also noticed water vapour pooling up in the tail pipe.
