1996 1.8 8v white smoke

[G mk3 golf]

My mk3 golf kicks loads of white smoke out went I start her up. I have change oil oil filter fuel filter and it still does it. What can it be ?

[itavaltalainen]

does it use water?
what does the smoke smell of if anything?

[G mk3 golf]

Use little water. Smells like burn oil mate. Thinking head gasket ?

[itavaltalainen]

check if oil in water or vice versa.
but not thinking that it's the head gasket just from that.

could be more like a leaking water flange and the valve stem seals that allow oil to drip into cylinder when the engine is not running. when you start it it blows out the back...

[G mk3 golf]

No oil in water or water in oil mate. ?

[G mk3 golf]

I think there might be bit of oil in the water not 100% sure

Just been out and run the car on tick over for 15 mins white smoke the full time and went up just over half on temp and fan kicked in. Would a head gasket do this ?

White smoke is a sign that water is in the combustion chamber, so sounds like a head gasket issue.

[G mk3 golf]

It don't take long to get hot. I think I get the head gasket done and hope

White smoke is most definitely head gasket! 100%
