Title: Smoke under acceleration
Post by: Benn83 on February 29, 2012, 11:02:26 pm

Hi Guys

Been noticing lately at night when I accelerate hard and there is a car close behind me I can see smoke in their headlights.

Was wondering if this was normal or something I should investigate?

Cheers

It looks white but I can only see it at night when it's reflected in headlights.

Can't see anything during the day.

 I wouldnt worry about it, Just be condensation.

If it smokes heavily, and i mean heavily on idle then you know you got problems.
