96 1.2 Lots of white smoke - mclw
Hi All
Today when riving my car I noticed LOADS of white smoke, it didnt stop all the way to or from my 10 mile trip :(
I have no over-heating, no loss of power,no loss of water, no mixing of oil and water, no irratic idleing so am confused!
Any help appreciated

I assume this is a petrol vehicle, in which case its probably just condensation due to the very cold weather.

Hi Peter
Yes it is petrol, but it's really bad! I struggle to see behind me when i'm stationary! Is that normal?
Thanks for your help.

If you can smell it, then it's smoke, if not, then it's condensation.

I'd check your coolant level as a matter of urgency to make sure that the head gasket isn't failing and your burning coolant.

Hi I have checked coolant and all ok! So hopefully just with the cold! Thanks for your advice.

Check your oil level as well next.
