'83 380SL Intermittent White Smoke
Hi all,
I've had an issue twice now with white smoke coming from the exaust of my car AFTER going down a steep grade like those spiral ramps in parking garages. It belts out smoke fairly heavily for about 5 mins or until I get up to highway speed and then drives great. Only other issue is a weak start when cold but starts fine after it's been running. Any ideas what could cause this?
