jocojohn Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi, My car is a 52 plate 1.8 Mondeo, petrol with 100k on the clock. I have noticed in the last few months at the end of a journey that the exhaust emits quite a lot of whitish smoke. The car does not lose coolant and use very little oil, it runs ok so I dont think its head gasket trouble or condensation in the exhaust because it still smokes after a long run. I know it maybe valve stem seals, but before I go down that route could anything else be causing this smoke such as blocked breather pipes or EGR valve etc. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
