Hello all.
A 2016 X5 40e.
If the car has been standing unused for several days, and it is then started on the petrol engine, a cloud of white smoke issues from the exhaust. Most of the smoke comes from the passenger side tailpipe. It clears after 10 to15 seconds and then no smoke is visible until the next time I leave it unused for a few days.
I'm thinking it might be to do with the engine breather valve ?
A mechanic wants me to address the error code on the fuel tank pressure sensor first in case it is the cause of the problem - an expensive job.
I see that there is a recall on this sensor from BMW USA but my local BMW main dealer says that it doesn't apply to European cars (?).
Where can I find info on BMW recalls/extended warranties for UK/Irish cars ?
Any info about fixing the white smoke problem would be most welcome.
Thanks
Rod
