   Alright lads,
   
   At risk of sounding like a massive TWAT again, but this is something I think about when I'm stuck in traffic
   
   Basically, because it's colder now, when I start my car etc you see all the white shite puffing out from the back don't you. I quite enjoy seeing it tbh going off down the road thinking I'm some kind of steam train.
   
   Anyway, sometimes... even when my cars engine temp is warmed up and fine, I still see the puff coming out the back, mainly on idle in traffic. If I rev, it disappears, and when back to idle out it comes again..
   
   Is this because of the temperature outside, or is my headgasket fucked / on it's way?
   
   Thing is, I noticed it last year too haha..
   
   Can anyone clarify my retardedness? Cheers.

   Headgasket is 100% fucked, nothing to do with temperature outside.......

   Thanks for the info. I'm calling my Dad about it now, he knows a good mechanic I think.
