depending on if its white(steam = condensation in exhaust from startup normal) or blue smoke = burning oil poss turbo seals as a worst case sinerio

Zeds do pump out a lot of condensation on startup, especially at the moment.

i get the white smoke on first start up in the morning but clears up fairly quickly. If i leave the car for a week or so without use the first time i give it some there's a bit of dark (can't tell what colour, prob black by the look of it) smoke and it sort of judders, like it's choked or cutting out.. then it clears up.

 

anyone get that?

 

(sorry for the semi-hijack)

Mine doesn't smoke until it warms up and then its a white colour. If the car is stationary it does it for a while but soon as its driven it stops :confused:

Kev6 - Yep i get exactly the same - mine is decatted TT. Recently drove it after it had been laid up for a month and got darl smoke out th eback - scared the crap outta me but it quickly settled after a quick blast on the motorway. Reassuring to know it isnt just me!
