Water from exhaust.

Post by **chippieshaun** » 31 Mar 2009, 18:19

Is it normal for a bit of water to come out of the exhaust , when engine is cold??
I have a 1.9 petrol and once it warms up the water stops.
We're not talking loads.....just a fine bit of spray and occasional drip.
Coolant level doesn't seem to be going down at all and doesn't over heat.

Some body told me that this is not uncommon on waterboxers....something about condensation??
Could i have a head gasket on it's way or something even more sinister? or should i just chill and stop worrying?!!
Any comments appreciated.
Cheers
Shaun

Yep it's normal!
Chill and stop worrying! It is just condensation, does it on all engines.

Water is a natural by-product of the combustion process, that's why exhausts rot from the inside.
