Clio 1.4 16V
Hello,
when my clio is cold (1.4 16v petrol) when I start it up and try to drive it misfires and white smoke comes out if the back, really sloppy until round bout 5-10 seconds with foot on pedal it works fine and doesn't miss fire bit of smoke but nothing to worry about then when the engine is warm runs with out smoke or misfire it also starts fine when not freezing. Head gasket values and c belt changed 35k miles ago. Don't know when it was serviced last as nothing in book from previous owner. I have flushed coolant system previously and topped up the oil. Any ideas would be appreciated but thinking maybe a service could sort the problem. But this only happens when cold and left for a few hours.
Cheers
