    Unhappy White Smoke

    The wife reports that she noticed a cloud of white some from the exhaust of the Commodore. The ride is a 2004 VY S Pac Supercharged and has done about 21,000ks. This happened at the McDonalds drive thru.

    What could be wrong.

    Thanks all.

    Thank you all for your response. Got low mileage becuase got another ride which we use regularly. Commodre is used occasionally.

    Ok Update time:

    It's about 30 degrees, i can still see white condensation in the air, but cannot see white smoke from the exhaust. If i put a piece of cloth against the exhaust, it gets warm and damp then the dampness dissapears fast. if i press the accelerator, water seeps out of the exhaust.

    Have burnt rubber recently and Check engine warning came on!

    Should i be worried?

    What should i do?

    Cheers

    The dampness and water are normal, it proves your cat is working. The engine check light came on because the transmission would have chucked a spaz cos you weren't moving. The light should be off now? It just logged an error in the ECU, I think you can still check codes on a VY the same as VT-VX.

    I reckon it's condensation cos you drive the car so little. N.B.D.
