Disaster :@ UPDATE

You can get white smoke from LOTS too much fuel. I had an injector driver short on an ecu, which meant 12v constantly supplied to an injector. The white smoke out of the back was hilariously bad (for the short time the engine ran)!

Not saying for a minute that you've got the same problem, just saying that colour of emissions doesn't mean for certain it is petrol / water / oil.

That is a thought aswell becuase it seems loads of fuel is being chucked out through the exhasut as recently i have been getting these huge POPS and bangs from the exhaust and usually that is unburnt fuel exiting the exhaust

Theres no point in anyone on here guessing what the problem is with your car just going from the colour of the smoke.
I didi that with my car and paid out £1600 to a VW dealers, and that was based upon what people think it should have been wrong with my car.
Instead of just going through loads of guess work from people on here, take your car to someone that knows what they are doing.
There could be  loads of reasons why your car is broken, main part being you should have listened to what everyone had told you in the first place and had the car mapped before you thrashed it.
Like everyone has kept saying, take it to someone that knows what they are doing, loads of guesses from people from here isnt going to fix your car, could just end up costing you a fortune in parts you dont even need
I wasted £2500 for no reason going off guesswork, until I took it to a garage who diagnosed it straight away, albeit they made a mess of the job, but car is now sorted.

Noone had told me anything about how to drive it after conversion because i never posted anything about it till the fault happened you see,
And yes i do agree best hands is on the specialists and am trying ti find someone suitable in london,

You say you found the problem straight away but didnt you change the whole engine out?

[heavyd]

no engine wasnt swapped, just new rings, bores honed, cylinder head was sent away to get the valve stem oil seals replaced etc etc, think was about £1500, they then put the cams back in wrong at the end of it. was using about 1ltr of oil every 200 miles or something ridicluous like that, I've now used about 200ml since february.

mate do this, go out to the car and remove the pvc system and see if the white smoke still comes out.   just try it

i have the BSH PCV plate on mate can I still check by taking the breather off mate?

What did you do to sort it out in the end?

[james]

dont you have the standard system?     if that system gets blocked you get white smoke that is why i ask.

i can make mine pump white smoke in seconds by blocking it.

This thread could go on and on can't the mods lock it

Whats that song? You spin me round round like a record baby

Old ground being covered now.

Get yourself to AKS Tuning although I suspect nobody will touch it now with a long sh*tty stick.

Wasn't a MK5, but a Honda K20A2 engine / ecu. Just mentioned it for the smoke comment.

I'm still saying fuel system on this one. If there are no fault codes then you may have to try a split technique, separating the engine, fuel system, electrics, etc. It's difficult though without spares to try. It's also difficult because the vehicle hardware/software don't correlate at the minute.

On a side note, I had heavy white smoke on one of my vehicles. Replaced lots, head gasket included. Turned out to be a bent rod in the end. Again, this can only be diagnosed by splitting the engine.

Get it mapped properly. Bet its down to the map.

once i got loads of white smoke when i turned off the traction control.
