TFSI question as usual, sorry people.
my car has loads of 'smoke' coming out of the exhaust especially noticeable when at traffic lights.
Ive read up on it and it says it can be normal for these types of engine, condensation etc..
im worried because every few weeks i need to top up my coolant level?? cant really see a leak anywhere and the waterpump was changed when i got the timing belt done about 3 months ago.
im wondering if it could be the head gasket, again, ive read up on it and it doesnt seem to be a common problem on these engines or am i mistaken?
also there seems to be some splashes of coolant on the engine bay. my mechanic friend did a pressure test on the reservoir and it held good pressure, the cap seems fine aswell, it seals well.
any ideas.
thanks as always
