Mk1 Punto 1.2 60S (1997)
Fairly dense white smoke from the exhaust once engine has reached temperature, but...
(1) engine not overheating (no temperature warning light appears),
(2) no loss of water (top and bottom water hoses get hot as normal),
(3) no sludge in oil filler cap or water expansion tube,
(4) no gas indicated in a vapour check (sniff test) by the AA.
Any possibilities if not a blown head gasket?
Water pump?
Timing belt?
Computer?
Me?
It will probably need an engineer's diagnostic check. How much should this cost?
