Are you sure it isn't steam? Could be condensation maybe?

Failing that, have you got a webasto fuel burning heater fitted? If so it could be the exhaust fumes from this firing up. Andy

Had a bit of a problem with mine today, (turned out to be the starter motor jammed, had to rock the car to free it) and when it started, I'd got the bonnet up, and left it running for a few minutes, then switched off.
Lots of white smoke (steam?) from the Webasto heater, not from the metal exhaust, but the fattish pipe running across just in front. Is this normal? |

Does it not just burn the diesel like one of those diesel burning space heaters?
