Rps Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Any ideas why my car smokes sometimes it only does it when its ticking over never when driving and it seems to only do it if im at traffic lights for instance.now the car runs perfect boosts fine doesnt use oil or water and its deffo not the head gasket i can guarantee that. The smoke is a light greyish colour Im no mechanic but im wondering if its over fuelling on tick over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 greyish /blue is normally oil, smoking from exhaust or under bonnet? Under bonnet area could be rocker cover gasket gone and leaking onto exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rps Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 From the exhaust mate its wierd cos theres loads but only now and then would it be stem seals then although it doesnt use no oil at all really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 If it's shortly after start up and you've got a big bore zorst it could just be moisture . Just keep a close eye on your oil n water levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Classic signs of a worn turbo usually i think maybe hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rps Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 I think ive solved it.it only started when i had various bits changed on my exhaust and im hoping its just where ive lathered it in exhaust paste. Well fingers crossed anyway because thats when it started... Cheers for replys tho lads much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
