I have a 1600 A3 that puts out clouds of exhuast vapour on start up. It is not oil smoke as i am not using any. The dealer is saying it is normal but it is embarashing when sitting at the traffic lights first thing in the morning. We are not talking a puff of smoke but enough to engulf half the car. Anyone else had this problem?
Cheers Peter

The smoke is white like you would normally expect on a cold day but the issue is the volumne. Honestly it ingulfs half the car before I reverse out of my drive.
