Hi all,
A bit of an odd one that I noticed this morning for the first time. I have a 2005 C2S manual car which had an engine rebuild 5-6 years ago (block work and nikasil pistons done by Hartech, rest done by a specialist eslewhere). I have had the car about 5 months now and it has done 55k miles. 1500 miles of those are mine.
Not been doing much driving recently as working from home still. I have been doing school runs and pick ups 2-3 times a week but only a few miles each way. I keep the revs under 3k until the oil temp is up to 90 degrees. I haven't done any spirited driving over any real distance for a month or two I reckon.
This morning I took the car down a local A road and noticed clouds of white smoke from the rear when pushing over 5k revs. No lights/messages on the dash reported and it drives totally fine and without smoke at anything up to around 5k revs. No drips of anything on the driveway seen.
I checked on the way back on the same road and it did the same thing.
Any thoughts on things to check? I have done some searches but they mostly talk about white smoke clouds on start up and I don't see that.
Any thoughts?
