White smoke when starting my car in summer(96 Golf, 1.8l 8v, 186k)
Car:
vwGolf 96 186000km 1.8l 8v Canada Hi group, My Golf in the summer, never saw it in the winter, sometime will produce a white smoke when starting. Sometime alot other time little. The problem is when I cold start my car in the mourning. And there no smoke when I'm driving. One mecanic ask me if the smoke was totaly white or "white-bleu". And really I don't know it look white to me but it's not totally blue. Last time I smell it, it was smelling like burn oil and not sweet(burn prestone). My car always burn oil but a little more since I saw the smoke. The coolant level is always good, but I will have to add arround 1L of oil each 1500km and before it was 1l for 2000km. The problem appear maybe two year ago, the smoke is not alot all the time and don't happen during winter so it's easy the forget. But I want to fix that this summer. My friend is a mecanic, mostly truc and will be happy to fix it for me. What do you think is the problem and is it easy to fix? Thanks, Dominique |
