White Smoke

[MadUsa1]

When I get above 5000 rpm I get a bit of white smoke coming out of the exhaust - like you get when the engine isn't warmed up on a cold morning.
Thing is, this is happening after half an hour of driving so the engine should be warm already. Considering it's minus 5 here right now, I'm thinking maybe it's just a bit of harmless water vapour - anyone else experience this?

I think the back box of exhaust holds water in it due to design Its just harmless water vapor happens to all 182s

sounds like water vapour to me. Strange that its only doing it at 5k.

 

[Jonnyb182]

it only does it after 5k because the force of exhaust gases is heating and vaporising much more water held inside exhaust bad design fault.

The first few times I had this I panicked.............until at a RR day my car sprayed the onlookers when she was on the rollers! Was funny like!!!

When I swapped my standard exhaust for the Yozza it was filled with water, seems a really strange design tbh.

Thanks for the input guys, that puts my mind nicely at ease (was pretty alarmed tbh - this being an ex-hillclimb / slalom car etc!)

Good excuse to swap the exhaust out for something a little more tuneful, although I must say the Trophy sounds far better than my old 182FF strangely enough - perhaps because of the missing sound deadening?
