adam_christie 0 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hiya,Just wondering if anyone elses exhaust is proper steamy in the mornings when the engine's first started? It dies down after a bit. Also smells really fuelly too, but I know that's normal for warm up purposes to a certain extent!Cheers!Adam Link to post Share on other sites

adam_christie 0 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ah cool. Was just a bit concerned as the missus Astra doesn't "steam" half as much when started!Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 It's quiet normal.Mine sometimes even mists the rear screen up in morning. Link to post Share on other sites
jaysVR6 2 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Just think about how much the car is breathing on choke when it's cold. A few more litres than a 1.6 Ashtray!! Link to post Share on other sites

matth76 1 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Totally normal. Powerful big engined cars tend to do this more as they heat up much more than bog standard cars. It will always happen when the engine is cold and especially when its cold outside. Just don't rev the car over 3k revs for around 15mins until the car reaches normal operating oil temp (which you can see on your trip computer - 88-90deg is the temp to reach).... again this is a normal thing to do with any sports car.

Eat this 2 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 i agree with most of that math but mine would never reach mid 80s just tootling round unless i was sat in heavy traffic and since the lower temp thermostat it wont reach 80 hehe i treat 70 degrees as safe vince at stealth backed this up Link to post Share on other sites
