maybe not.

I have a question.

Is a good sized puff of smoke common on cold start up?

My LittleredMPS greeted me for the second time in a week with a big, clearly visible puff out the pipes of whitish smoke this morning.

For info my car is a completely stock gen 2 MPS with 1300k on the clock.

Suggestions?

The car is going in for its 1k service next week and I think I might be having something to say about it.

Before anyone suggests it...No it wasnt condensation...and No it wasnt fuel smoke. Went and stuck my head in it. Sort of smelt like oil mixed with burnt plastic.

Thats what mine smelt like. Definately bring it up with your dealer and next time it happens, take video with your phone or something

Ok its 3.45 am here in Cairns and I have spent the last 2 hrs reading every post from this thread madaz is in the faulty turbo category
I would like to thank all the members who have shared their stories I think I have plenty of documented evidence when I Confront Mazda today !!
Lucky hopefully, for me one of our CAIRNS members is in the warranty section of the Mazda dealer and has a mps himself ,also I will take my lap top in as well with the seven pages of " smoking is bad for your mps,s health" . Perhaps I could use the mps stopwatch to time how long madaz smokes at idle .
I will let you know how I fared
