Periodic heavy exhaust smoke at startup.
To all Forum diagnostic experts-
I'm in a crazy situation with my MB dealer service tech.
They can't seem to diagnose any issues when I bring my 03 SL55 AMG in for service.
3 times in the last month, upon initial startup a huge cloud of whitish/grayish color smoke came from my exhaust pipes. It's intermittent and I can't add any further info to try and aide in the resolution. The only mod that has been added since this smoke issue began is an ECU tune through PresserTec.
No check engine lite, but I feel that the cold idle is rough but vanishes when warm. Does anyone have any ideas for me. Thanks to all responders.
