hello all, I just want to ask.
Yesterday it rained the whole day & I was driving back home which is an hour drive. This morning the car was really dirty & decided to give it a wash.

So i start the car. The car have a IPE exhaust installed & it was very loud start up for a like 10 seconds it quiet a bit down by itself. I let it it idle for like 10 minutes & notice bits of thin white smoke coming out from the exhaust. I didn't care as much at first and switch off the engine. I continued washing & after like 30 mins wash. I switch the engine on. First thing I notice a big puff of white smoke and bits of thin white smoke continued from the exhaust. I gave it some rev. More white smoke coming out. Really worried I gave it a drive & the white smoke is gone right away. I restart the car no more white smoke from the exhaust & let it idle for 15 more minutes- Also no more white smoke.

My 2012 C63 has 18k KM.

headbolt issue?

It's a 2012. No headbolt issue. Sounds like normal water vapor from the exhaust. It's kind of like breathing out on a cold day. You can see your breath. Your car cold started (like a normal car) and no more steam once it warmed up.

that or oil pooled in exhaust..but it would smell like burning oil. White vapor..prob. condensation..water vapor. I would watch the radiator level for awhile too.

I just did a research on that (I just knew)-I just check My Vin number doesn't fall under the effected group.

Once I drive off on the road- No more white smoke. Like it all gone! What make me scared just now is when I first start the engine- There is no white smoke coming out but after like 1 or 2 minutes of idling bits of white smoke start coming out(Which I assume its condensation vapor) but I switch it off as I wash the car. When I restart after like 30 minutes later- The big puff of white smoke comes out from exhaust.(That what made me scared a bit) .

The car will go in for an oil change at the dealer next mth. I will talk to them just to be sure.

This is not my video. Just some random youtube search on C63 start up- Same thing I faced just now when I restart the 2nd time after 30mins. Maybe I switch off the car haven't warm up enough ?...

I read at the comment section saying "This happens when u shut off car during cold start period and restart it again after,dumps fuel"


I check my coolant level in the engine. Still full.. Also the car mileage is still low (18k km) to have a head gasket issue. I will monitor it..

your probably right..too low a mileage to be a head gasket. prob. just hot water
