[Rocco1]

Hi guys is it normal for a 997t gen1 to smoke on strat up after being parked up for two week?
Blue white cloudy smoke for around 3/5 secs,and then fine
Thanks

Sometimes.

Mine does it occasionally when left outside in the cold for a couple of days.

Fine so long as it stops after a few seconds........which you mention. And also if it's only occasionally.

Can happen on turbos when they haven't been left idling for 30 secs when switched off. Is it a tiptronic or a turbo (or both)?

Hi Tony hope all is well. Mine used to do this but I did find that after a drive, leaving the car to idle for about 1 minute or so pretty much got rid of it.

Its a turbo and tip
First time its ever done it and only for a 2/3 secs maybe drop in temp (it under Porsche warranty worse case scenario)
