STi Paul

Every morning when I start the car (MY03 STi), there is smoke, and a very bad smell. The car has done about 19k. This only happens when cold, for the first half/full mile or so.
There is no lose of performance, I dont go over 3k revs until the oil is up to temp, and allways cool down.
Anyone have any ideas?????????????

R u sure its not condensation.....?????????

it is quite cold and that kind of season where the air is damp...

The smell is normal on any Catted car, rotten eggs = CAT doing its job... the smell will stop as soon as the Cat is upto Temp...

Don't worry unless its a very dry afternoon and the smoke doe's not condence on your hand

hope this helps
