View Full Version : starting supe from cold
when i start my tt japsec supe from cold i get a little bit of smoke. its fine when its running nothing at all its only when i start it up from cold what could this be?
Firstly what colour is the smoke?
Condensation. Probably nothing to worry about.
Sustained white smoke plus pressure in the coolant system would mean head gasket failure.
How about if its the nasty blue oily smoke? One puff then clear, especially if its been left for a week or so...
no its not head gasket oil is fine and there is no pressure in the coolant system and no lost of power, i thought it might be the turbos but its fine when its running and boosting or to much oil but oil level looks ok. i have a blitz nur spec exhaust would that make a diffrence

yer its just when i start it up from cold i get one puff of smoke then its clear but i use my supe daily
A Nur spec will just make it smoke a little bit more than a stock exhaust on start up that's all. well, it did on mine anyway.

might just be that then everything else seems ok, am having a new water pump fitted at the mo
If it's a puff of Blue Smoke on startup from cold then MAYBE Valve Stem Oil Seals. If it's more white then as above, just condensation.
