My 1.8cl golf over the last week I have noticed its been smoking at 1st it look like white smoke I done the oil filter fuel filter oil and its still the same so I put it in a garage yesterday to have test done and its come back engine and head are ok but it's white/blue smoke. What else can this be I did think stem seals but garage said that would of show on test ? ? ?
-
Water in exhaust. Sit in one spot let it warm up then give it some revs. Then go see if its been dripping water and left a puddle.
-
Just done that and there water. What would make water sit in the exhust ?
-
Its like condensation mate.
You probably only doing short trips so doesnt get chance to be blown out.
Nothing to worry about its perfectly normal.
-
It does it all the time mate. Every time I pull away I get puff smoke. ?
-
Yep so do I!
As I say its perfectly normal.
-
If the smoke is blue that is a sign of oil being burnt.
-
Yesterday the smoke look blue but today I have been out and run it and its just white smoke and there was no smell of burn oil ?

Normal in that case, just condensation

Have to keep a eye on it. The car going in Tuesday for vortex exhaust systems I just don't want exhaust getting f**ked the money it's cost. Thanks for the help people

Condensation if it doesn't smell like burnt oil. No worries, the small holes in the muffler etc. will allow it to come out
