White smoke at WOT?

Usually white smoke is from either coolant or water being burned off. If its coolant you could have a big problem with the engine.

I had it in my 2--4 E500... No one ever found a cause for it.. never lost coolant, never had any fluid contamination anywhere. The smoke was so thick if I pushed the car, no following car ever came out of the smoke because I was long gone!

Not a great thing to have on the car, but as I said, no one ever came up with a cause or cure.
