Title: White smoke on a decat
Post by: Bernie on August 26, 2018, 03:19:59 pm

Have a 2005 gti, has a decat with a miltek and due to go to R-Tech for Stg2 on Friday.

However, last week coming of a slip road noticed a puff of white smoke. Next junction a much bigger plume but then nothing.

 I use the same route each day but smoke appears at random appearing under load or not.

Car is well warmed up (25 minutes running) not performance issues or fault codes. It's maybe taking a little longer to fire up in the morning so concerned head gasket (research suggests this would be rare)

Any thoughts before I get my local garage to pressure check it?

Have you checked coolant and oil levels for any losses? Also maybe the pcv needs replacing.
