All cars produce white smoke/steam when they have just been started up and the engine is still cold.

 

yeah but this sis with Temp Gauge at running temps

but cars was only running for like 15 mins

Thanks for replying

I have checked the water level the oil level and the oil cap there is no mayo present maybe its juts me getting excited over nothing

 

Sounds like head Gaskit to me

 

All hydro-carbon fuels produce water during the combustion process and is especially noticable on cars fitted with a CAT.
No doubt you have fears it may be a duff head gasket - so keep a close eye on the coolant level

 

Well I checked the oil and water levels both are the same as they were 2 weeks ago ..

Ok at the moment its only slight will it progress and get worse if its Head Gasket ? and if it is what the procedure ?

Cheers Dave

 

Head gaskets usually deteriorate over time. May be no bad thing to mark the coolant level with a felt-tip marker when the engine is cold - that way you have a reference point

 

Just went for a 20 min drive , and its seems to have stopped .. almost like it warmed up properly .. Can it be possible that my car could take like 15 mins or so before condensation stops ?


Cheers again

 

It will depend on various factors such as air temperature and especially humidity. I have seen some cars take 30 minutes or more. Any water vapour tends to collect at the cooler parts pf the exahust - usually the back box

 

Cool if you pardon the pun .. Looks like I may well have got a bit paranoid a bit to quick !!
Ill keep an eye on it ..

Yes I guess it did look a bit like a car in winter .. Temp outside here is 13 ..

Ah well my mini Panic may be over thanks Dave
