GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: White Smoke Coming Out Of Exhaust
Literally drove the car yesterday for three hours nothing was happening. Went to turn it on today when it idols a little constant white smoke comes out of the exhaust! Then when I'm driving and my turbo boost lets out a big cloud of smoke comes out. What could this be? Also just filled my car up with gas from empty today if that matters

So I just got my 04.5 GLI chipped with GIAC 93 octane program two days ago. Obviously I've been driving it reasonably hard because I'm pumped on the chip. I noticed today as I sat at a light a very small bit of white smoke billowed out from the driver's side of the engine (looked like it was pretty far to the side). It stopped for a second and then a little bit more came out. I pulled over as soon as the light turned green and looked around with a flashlight to see if I could spot any more smoke, but couldn't.
The car has 120,000 KMs, catless dp, and an aftermarket exhaust. It was chipped in 2011, but went into limp mode, the owner then traded it in and I got it in limp mode. (long story short they reflashed and replaced several parts and got it back to 10psi, and I then rechipped 2 days ago). So the car hasn't seen too much chipped use I'm assuming. The boost holds strong at about 17lbs (unless it's low rpms in 5th or 6th, and it kinda bounces around until higher rpms and then holds steady).

I was thinking the catalytic converter??

Went to leave the grocery store and as im pulling out I can't get out of 4th gear. After I got home I was able to work it into neutral and I can obtain 2nd, 4th and reverse but the throws aren't straight and it won't go into another gear unless you would force it. There is virtually no side to side travel in the shifter. What could this be? I drive my car hard but I've never missed a shift or grinded the clutch and I wasn't beating on it before it happened.

Our family recently purchased a used BMW 528i (40K miles). Perhaps this is nothing, but I just wanted to make sure anyway.
Today, at around 2AM (maybe 50 degrees C), within minutes of starting the car, we drove into a McDonald's Drive Thru. While I was ordering and pressing on the brakes, I noticed continuous discharge of white smoke/vapor from the exhaust. For maybe a minute this continued. When I moved the car a little bit to get closer to the window, the smoke stopped. But when I stopped again to receive my order, I saw the white smoke/vapor again. My friends who were with me told me that it might just be water vapor, but the hypochondriac in me wants to make sure this isn't a blown head gasket or anything else I've read about in the internet. BTW When I drove away from the Drive Thru and continued driving, I stopped seeing the white smoke/vapor.
I'm as clueless you can get with cars. Do I need to be worried?
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: CEL On And Car Starts Pulling Back When Accelerate Fast
I just recently put in an APR chip on my o4 gli from one of their dealers, a day or two later I noticed when I try to accelerate fast my check engine light comes on and the car starts pulling back. That was almost a week ago, today I went back to the same place to get a short shifter, I told them the problem while I was there and they said it was my coil packages. I replaced all 4 and im still having the same problem...
View 2 RepliesTouareg :: V10 - White Smoke Coming Out Of Exhaust
I just purchased an '06 V10 a couple weeks ago. Today, I was about 11miles into my 15mile commute when I noticed A LOT of white smoke coming out of the back. The only time I'd seen smoke like that before was just before my old Ford Explorer caught fire. I immediately pulled over and took a look. White smoke (maybe steam?) was billowing out of the exhaust.
I say steam, because it didn't have the strong diesel smell I would've expected. I decided I couldn't sit there parked by the highway, so I got back in the car, checked warning lights and pulled out. Within 1/2 mile, it was gone. Nothing. No more problems the rest of the way. What this might have been? I have 1100 miles on the vehicle and this is the first time it's happened.

View 7 RepliesOldsmobile - Cutlass :: 1964 - White Smoke From Exhaust
I have a 64 Olds Cutlass. I drive it once a week or so. That means it sits most of the time. Lately it's been very damp and rainy. I've noticed that when I start the Olds up there is white smoke coming from the exhaust. This lasts about a minute or until the car warms up and I start driving. Then it disappears. Is this just condensation burning off or, I hope not, a blown head gasket? How can I tell the difference?
View 2 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: White Smoke From Left Exhaust Pipe
I started my car up this morning for work and I noticed it sounded a little different almost like a little more gurgle then usual. I walked behind the car and saw white smoke coming from the left exhaust. The smoke wasn't incredibly white like a cloud but was definitely noticeable i think it smelt like gas or oil I'm not sure (stuffy nose got me some allergies) . After about 10 ish seconds everything was back to normal. What could this be if anything? Hopefully nothing tho.
View 6 RepliesPassat (B7) :: 2014 - White Smoke Blowing Through The Exhaust
I was on 285 tonight in Atlanta and had a very hard time seeing because of all the white smoke. I thought some old GM car or Ford was billowing white smoke through the exhaust.
When I finally caught up to what was the cause I was shocked to see it was a Passat. A 2014 at that! 1.8 Turbo. I followed her into a Kroger Grocery store parking lot and parked as close as I could. She was unaware that her car was smoking out of her exhaust. I told her she needed to bring her car to the dealer asap and have them look at it. The white smoke was coming out of her exhaust even after she turned the motor off. She had no clue. I would say she was in her middle 70's age wise. It think she talked to me because I was in a Passat that "looked" like her car. Interesting to me to say the least. What could this possibly be?

I noticed that the RC was blowing out a lot of white smoke from the exhaust. I peeked underneath the car and i hear what it sounds like droplets of water falling down. and then i go inside the car and i see an engine light(yellow triangle). I honestly don't know what it could be wrong right now.
The car only has 12k Miles.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: White Smoke From Engine And Exhaust Of GS300?
It was a rainy day and I was going to drive my GS300 2006. After starting the car and let it warm up for a bit I notice a decent amount of white smoke from my exhaust which at first I thought was due to the rainy weather (abt 28celcius in Thailand) but it doesn't feel normal. Shortly after I see it coming from the engine so I opened the hood to check. I also went for a short ride around the village and the white smoke still continues from both engine and exhaust...
Its on the right side in between the engine and the battery...
There is also something like a little boil from that joint...

View 13 RepliesTiguan :: Intermittent Emission Of White / Bluish Smoke From Exhaust?
I drove through some hills and inclines before reaching my destination. When i pulled over the lobby of the clubhouse, the guard noticed the smoke my car was emitting. I checked the exhaust and it did emit smoke all the way up to the parking area.
I parked for a good 1-2 hours. When i drove it again for around 10-15 mins up and down inclines, it was not emitting smoke.
Turned the engine off and parked for a good 30 minutes as i waited for someone. I drove back to the clubhouse and the car stood on idle for 10 mins.
As i took off, i looked at my side mirrors and noticed that it started emitting the same white/bluish smoke. This is my first brand new diesel car so I'm not quite familiar with how the appearance of smoke should be. My car is :
- 2015 purchased Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4motion, 140 Ps
- I have only driven it for 2000 km
- has been with me for just 30 days
- running on Shell V-Power diesel
The dealer said Tiguans really do emit smoke like this regularly. So I'm hoping this is not a symptom of any major problem.
