Smokey

[Ianski68]

so I have noticed now over the last few weeks that my car randomly will spew out greyish smoke. It is random so for example tonight went out. Drove about 6 miles all fine pulled up. After about an hour set off home. Almost back and sitting at lights I noticed smoke in my rear view mirror. It s strange as it always look like it's coming from underneath as well when I'm sitting in the car. After about 5 minutes of driving it clears.

It doesn't smell like oil but I don't know.

Thoughts.

Have a read of this Ian, I think you'd be best to make sure what color the smoke is before reading to much into the explantion given....hope it's not a problem chap.

Interesting read. Going to look at some of the basic stuff. But when reading it's not like mine. It seems to accur only once per journey and is not long lived. Normally more noticeable when stationary. Have no issue with performance what so ever. Car runs sweet as.

Hmmmmmm
