White smoke

[tomfinn94]

Recently changed my egr valve
Ran fine couple days after once I filled water up but last night decided it was gonna puff some heavy white smoke? Any help? All my levels are fine no mayo

Could it be that the egr gasket wasn't a new one?

Ran for a good 20 mins last night with no change although was about 0 degrees

Does the egr use oil/water? I didn't think it did.

[tomfinn94]

Water I believe

White = water
Bluish = oil

It could be then in that case, you should always replace gaskets as it will save you time and effort in the long run

[stanc3w0rks]

Even insta gasket is better than using old gaskets

I'll buy a blanking gasket fit that and hope it sorts the problem

you sould always replace the gasket on anything that has one when you remove its best if you buy a blacking plate with gasket mate will sort the problem

[tomfinn94]

You hve to get a gasket and blanking plate? Can't just slap the plate in between block and egr?

As andy says the kit is £5-6 on ebay

I'll run her again once it's a bit warmer like the weekend then if she still smokes will replace gasket and hope that does the job

If it was 0 degrees it's just the hot exhaust gas hitting the cold air

Start again during the day when it's not freezing, every car will smoke when it's cold

[tomfinn94]

Yeah will do
