Default Any1 good with engine problems on here???

I noticed yesterday that my car seemed to be smoking a bit out the exhaust while i was sat at a junction,then noticed it again while sat ticking over in car park. Did'nt notice anything while driving (even under hard acceleration) and theirs no loss in power or boost.
The smoke is white like steam and doesnt smell smokey or anything like that.

Any idea's folk's ?????

Probably due to the cold weather - the warm exhaust gasses hitting the cold air, nothing to worry about, just look at other petrol cars in front of you in queues

I've had mine for a year and it's always done that in cold/damp weather. It's been checked out, dyno'd and mapped by Andy Forrest, and nothing's shown up at all as being wrong. My exhaust is decat.

Yeah, sure do. Don't take my Subaru up the strip though. I'm not into d*cking about feathering the clutch...I'd just launch it and wreck it. Think it's on it's way out.

Where abouts are you from? PM me if you want, that will keep the thread on topic.
