Phat VR6 3 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Well if your not lossing water then you got nothink to worry about, Oil would cause blue/ grey smokeAll cars have white smoke/ steam coming from there exhausts on start up and even more so in the winter. Plus with big engine this happends even more...You say it dissapears when you boot it?? You only gota worry about it if it doesn't dissapear and you can see loads and loads pooring out the back.Sounds like theres nothink wrong with it to me matey.. Link to post Share on other sites
chan 0 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 yea thats what ive been told but its not steam cause it only does it once it has warmed up and the smoke that comes out if enough to blind whoever is behind me. and it only does it for a few seconds and then dissapears. and sometimes i can drive it for hours and it wont miss a beat and other times it'll do it about 10 mins after ive started it Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 ummm Strange one tbf, If your oil and water are ok i wouldn't worry about it, Just carry one checking your levels and try feget about it. Thats what id do, Untill it got worse, What you say makes no sence, You might want to ask killokella and see what he thinks Link to post Share on other sites

xyber 1 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 sounds silly but VRs are quite wet engines and take on alot of moisture from the air, mines done this before after a spell of crap weather, Im beginning to think its moisture evapourating from inside the engine when it get up to temp Link to post Share on other sites
