White smoke when putting your foot down

Featured Replies

I'm a bit concerned about the amount of white smoke out of the exhaust on my 2018 2.0 TSI when I floor it. It's been cold since I've had it and just thought it was vapour but now it's mild I'm a bit more concerned. I'm not getting any warning lights or funny smells or noises. Is this normal for a TSI?

P.s oil and coolant levels are fine so doesn't seem to be burning anything.

It's normal.

 

If you look in the rear view mirror you'll see it disappear quickly showing it's water vapour. It'll stop when the exhaust system warms up completely.

Thank you both!

You will need to take it on a good fast spin - white smoke will disappear.
