first of all my car takes about 3 key turns to start can anyone suggest y? iv changed new plugs+ptu+water sensor+ecu+tested all coil packs and fine+tested cam sensor and fine also fuel pump kicks in as soon as ignition is on!!! also when started there is no smoke but soon as car warms up (not fully) it puffs out white smoke but then clears after when norm temp is reached also when driving there is no smoke at all, but soon as im on lights o stop after a drive it puffs out white smoke can any one tell me y?iv also changed oil and filter oil i used was millers 10/ 40 i think loll

Sounds like tubby seals, mine used to do exactly the same. The rear seals allow oil to pass into exhaust then it gets heated up and just gives off a grey/white smoke.

hi bu if it was tubby seals then it do it all the time wouldnt it? i put this seal thing in which was recommended by a local shop guy, but its not made a diffrence! counldnt it be my pvc valves? see the car it self since january 05 the car has done no more than 400 miles and for a continuous 16 months it was stood in a outdoor compound....

It'll do it intermittently as it builds up and then once you've given it a blast it'll clear for a little while. The only way of cureing the problem is with new turbos, try changing your PCV valves first though.

If it takes a few turns to start it could be compression or lack of it, especially if you have a weak head gasket which would explain the white smoke, which would indicate water, do a compression test. But you will get some white smoke when you first start the car anyway as this is just condensation, but burns off once warmed up if the engine is sound

hi well the car only takes a few turns to start when its been stood for a few days, if i use it for a few days in a row or a few times in a day it starts first key!! also i drove the car all day y-day(sat) done about 160 miles in it 15 local rest motorway to yorkshire car ran sweet no hesitaion loss of power etc also the car didnt smoke once!!! only little smoke which was when parked up but lookd like steam as it was watery round the inner exhust!! this is the first time its done this kind of milg in over 2 years or been on motor way was dreading it just incase it broke down but was quite happy with her!! will post if it smokes again. tnx peps
