My 1600 tp blowing white smoke constantly
What could cause my bug to blow white smoke constantly?
Oil has only just been changed now long ago when motor was installed.
Stock motor apart from extractors.

Generally black smoke - fuel = too rich, blue smoke - oil = worn rings or valve guides, white smoke that disapates = water vapour, white smoke lingers
= brake fluid (not applicable to a manual beetle)

I thought it was
black = rich
blue = oil
white = raw fuel
I have certainly seen "white" smoke when a motor starts after it has been flooded or a "dead" spark plug comes to life
Usually you will get a big cloud that disapates very quickly
Futue te ipsum!!!

Use it for a few kilometres Dylan,the engine has been standing for a while and may need to run it in again,sometimes the rings skip over a bit of
surface rust on the cylinders and the oil will drain to the bottom of the cylinder giving a nice cloud of smoke on start up.Put an oil bath cleaner
back on it. Cheers Les
