Hi

 

my zed has nicely started blowing white/blue smoke out of both the exhausts, which is worrying to say the least.

 

now ive heard all the horror stories about head gaskets and stuff, but i dont think this is water or condensation, no sludge in the oil, or pressure in the system anywhere and also dont think im loosing any water.

 

one thing i have noticed is that it does it immediatley after starting within a few seconds, so i have an idea to find out if its hg for sure or not.

 

if i drain all the water system, and from cold, then start her up and it doesnt smoke, that would point to head gasket? if it continues to smoke, that would point to something like turbos?

not assuming anything mate, but you sure its definatly not condensation from the codl weather and the car overfueling...? is there deffinatly blue smoke, as that is oil... white is normally from over fueling this time of year and condensation.... alittle bit of throttle should remove the white if its just overfuel/condensation... i might be wrong but worth a try

nah dont think its is fuel, doesnt smell particularly fuelly, and it was running just fine..i know you get some condensation, but this is just too much for that, its quite think and seems to hang around and not float away as steam would/should.

 

I'll try the fuel thing tho, theres a adjustable regulator on there, so perhaps its upset itself :S

oh and theres only a tink of blue, mainly white.
