2005 Kia Carnival Car blowing white smoke
Engine Performance problem
2005 Kia Carnival 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 119000 miles
Hi
My car is just recently started blowing white smoke when I start the car. It seems to disapate after a few seconds.
What could the cause of this be and is it lifethreatening for the car.
I am booking it in for a service within the next week, would this likely fix the problem ?

HI there,
White smoke is usually a sign that coolant is entering the combustion chamber, this will have to be investigated, have you noticed any loss of coolant in the recient past.

I haven't notice any loss of coolant at all.

Ok,
It may be a condensation issue then, ask your mechanic to check this out.
