White Smoke (960) 900

posted by  someone claiming to be riverol on  Thu Mar 14 11:14 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Until more knowledgeable Brickboarders hopefully put you at ease, do not worry. If you get this white smoke only while car warms up but not after it has warmed up, then it is likely water vapor from condensation or ambient humidity. Be careful, however, if you take many short trips with the car that do not give time for the engine to fully warm up and burn cleanly. This can create troublesome deposits in combustion chambers, valves and piston. That will also leave condensation inside the exhaust. This will not create big problems, but it will rust the exhaust from the inside out. Exhaust replacement can be expensive in your car.
