My brother is saying that all that water is just condensation, and that the white smoke is possibly some carbon or something in the EGR vavle that just burning out. The smoke dosent smell unusual and the water is just...water....but ts ALOT. Im not worried, just curious. I dont want ppl thinking my car is a POS because it white smokes a little (well white smokes ALOT when you accelerate heavily).

Anyone have any ideas?

Usually a lot of white smoke is a sign of a blown head gasket. Don't let your car overheat, and if there is liquid water coming out of your exhaust, I would stop running the car altogether. Take it to a mechanic.

It's OK to have a very small amount of water coming out the exhaust because of the fact that water is a byproduct of combustion reactions. However, it does sound like you have a headgasket problem since there is a good bit of water and lots of white smoke.

yea i agree with everybody else...sounds like signs of a head gasket...take it to a local mech a-sap to see if it is...it will probably run you around 1000 to get it fixed depending on the mechanic and what not...i looked into it here and it will cost me about 960 and im not looking forward to my head gasket going at all

My brother is a mechanic He said it was fine(he said that carbon in the EGR valve thing, and not 2 worry)....ill just record a little video of it and then ask you guys again...it COULD be 2night, but probably 2morrow.


By the way, is it VERY harmful to run your car witha blown head gasket, what else would it damage if I continued to use it in current condition?

just make sure it doesnt overheat. if its starts to overheat turn it off and tow it.
