Smoking exhaust after service!!

[SpanishS2Avant]

Ok heres a question for ya! I just got my S2 back from a full service which they werent able to clear the brake system error or the airbag light gonna have to take it to stealers and bite the bullet i think. They did get the abs working again after replacing they faulty wheel speed sensor.

But now to add insult to injury i have white smoke coming out of the exhaust and its quite embarassing when sitting at traffic lights/town driving it starts as whisp then bellows out blinding everyone behind me could it be they over filled it with oil??

What do you think i should do about the smoke? Car is running well and feels stronger through the gears now has new sparks/full oil change.

White smoke has to be water, what does it smell like???? acrid with a little coolant maybe, that sweet sticky smell?? I hope it's not for your wallet's sake.

I had the same problem after a service ....
Smoking on idle only.
The problem may be incorrect oil used, as you cannot use a too thin oil.

Other than that its the turbo oil seals.
Oil seals costed me about 100 GBP with turbo service.
