Very Smokey/Steamy on Startup
Hi guys, just a quick question to see if any of you on here get the same smokey/steamy startups on very cold mornings as I'm getting below? It's only on cold mornings so I'm sure it's just steam......
It just seems like a lot to me!? It's always been like this in the 4 years I've had the car, so I don't really know why I'm only bothering to ask now lol. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. I believe turbo problem smoke has got a slight blue tinge to it? And this smoke/steam is perfectly white as you can see. No smell to it either, and clears after 4 or 5 mins driving. Just wanted to see what you guys thought. Cheers

That is a mighty cloud right enough but does just look like steam from condensation in exhaust.
I've worried about this in the past with some of my cars and always end up trying to work out if mine has more steam than other cars sitting in the traffic.

as long as its not blue (which its not judging by that pic) and clears when warm then its absolutly fine.
as said above its condensation in the exhaust and nothing to worry about

Mine does exactly the same man usually when its cold like this morning. I was also starting to think there is an underlying issue because the amount of smoke coming out!
