What colour is the smoke??

Blueish or very dark or very thin and misty

thin and misty seems to be shooting a bit of water out to might just be condensation tho.

This time of year old VW's do seem to produce quite a lot of steam. Just the cold weather making it obvious. Should disappear mainly when hot.

Luckily for you its not blue, mine is blue and it failed the mot, be careful!

Put some redex in the fuel....my old man used to put it in his old cars I think it was more of a pre-MOT ritual though.....TBH I seem to find myself putting it in my cars leading upto MOT time now !!!!!!
