Went to buy petrol today and when I started the car to drive away from the pumps it produced a substantial cloud of white smoke; I mean embarrassingly substantial [
] - the car behind me disappeared completely and the forecourt was quickly shrouded in smoke.
Reading around the comments on the forum, there are some suggestions that this is "normal" .... I'm finding that rather hard to believe. Can't imagine Porsche selling as many vehicles as they do if they behave like that normally.
The engine was warm and I had been driving for about 20 mins prior to this happening. Fortunately Guildford OPC was half a mile along the road so I've dropped the car in there and await their assessment.
Meanwhile I'd be interested to hear your views on possible causes (burning oil, antifreeze, blown gasket..??)
Hope this doesn't prevent my trip to Paragon in three weeks...
Cheers
