Subject:White smoke when cold
From:Alain Thibault

Allo all
My van sits in the garage for most of the week and I drive it only once a week. When I start it, there is a lot of white smoke...I mean a lot of smoke. Alter 10-15 minutes, when the engine has reached normal temperature, there is no more smoke. I know that it is normal that there is smoke when the engine is cold but that much, I have rarely seen it. Being fairly new to the Vanagon world, I wonder it this is normal? I would appreciate any of your thoughts on the subject. I don't know if it is related to that, but when the engine has reached normal temperature, it will need  2-3 cranks before the engine starts again...
Thanks
