hi everyone, im new this this forum, but ive got a question id like to ask.

Sometimes when i start my car up, there would be alot of white smoke coming out for abt 5 minutes, even when im driving it,i can see it in my rear mirror, does it mean my internals are going???or my car is not setup right??? Its a s6, high flow s5 turbo and microtech, i just purchased this car, don't no much abt rotaries. can you plz help.thanx

 

If the smoke is milky white (cannot see through), your coolant seals are gone. Sorry, but thank you for playing. J.K.

 

I have the same problem. I think it is condensation. I am also running rich so I am changing my air filter to see if it helps.

 

The smoke would be blue if the coolant seals are bad.

 

its a thin white smoke, every morning my car would dump out a thin white smoke for abt 3 minutes and then it would start spitting out this black watery liquid??? yeah my car back fires alot as well,

 

mine does that, has done it for years, i think it is just condensation.

 

Well it sounds like a coolant seal but could be also condensation.

The best you can do is to take the car ASAP to a rotary specialist and he will tell you what is it.

 

I don't think so. Blue smoke is oil burning. Most likely caused by bad turbo bearing seals. White smoke = water or coolant. If its as described above just a thin vapor with no odor than it could be just condensation. If it smells sweet than your looking for a rebuild soon. Some people use a block leak sealant. I would just fix the engine.

 

is there any type of sealant to use to help an fd stop smoking at crank time?

 

If the white smoke goes away then it would be condensation. If it stills smoke well after warm up then that is more than likely bad news.

 

Its the HOT exhaust hitting the COLD mourning air. Oh and if you rev the engine the you will make even more white smoke. Let the car sit cold for around 12/24 hours and then start up the car in 75+F and if it dosn't smoke like you said its the hot exhaust hitting the cold air!
