Smokey 182

[Andy_con]

noticed the 182 is kicking out more fumes/smoke from the exhaust than normally.

notice it when ildaling and when booting it, you can really notice it when booting it.

i want to catch this now before it gets to bad, any clues as to the likely cause?

 

[Simf40]

when is it kicking out more smoke? when cold? water in the back box thats just being burnt off still?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Smoke or steam ?

Black, blue or white ?

 

[Adam-o]

probably just condensation

 

[Hodgins]

ive noticed this too, ive put it down to the cold, when booting it sometimes it completely clouds up my rear window lol

 

[Addicted]

dont boot it when it's still cold then! ;p

 

[Hodgins]

cold outside i mean lol

There's always one of these threads every winter. It's more than likely going to be water vapour out the exhaust. When cold, water is a bi-product of combustion, hence the "smoke"

Meganes are the same, rear screen vs exhaust locations = 'smoke'

 

[Rich_172]

Yeh mines doin the same. Car still drives normal though so i aint worried bout it

 

[Andy_con]

ok thanks for the opinions guys ill keep an eye on it.

had the car for like 6-7 years now and not noticed it before. i just dont want a small problem to become a big problem.

Mine did this just before it blew up, killing all involved.



That's a lie.

Reason for me doing a search now on "exhaust"+"smoke"

I'd been driving about 15mins, 15 miles on Sunday, got to a roundabout floored it and there was a mass of exhaust cloud behind me - and it was the back screen that completely fogged up, it was def steam/condensation of some kind as it cleared off the screen very quickly.

Didnt do it on the way back though.
I was nervously planning on checking the oil filler cap tomorrow!

Sounds like a normal thing by the amount of other posts in other threads.

 

[Silent_Scone]

You're using oil!!!!


Just kidding, it'll be condensation for sure (unless it's a fruity colour)

 

[gazjones]

mine's doin the same white smoke when i put my foot down even when car is warm and mine is a f**ked fuel injector. £45 each gutted lol

Condensation. Wait until it's up to temp, then give it a good, hard run.
