W210 320CDI white smoke after two weeks parkings
Hello everybody,
I placed this post in technical discussion forum , but I believe the roight place should be here. My car 320 CDI exhausts white smoke after two weeks beeing still on parking. Initially evry thing was OK. Is it a sign that something has degraded? or is it just vapor condensed? Is ther something to be done to solve and or prevent this ? Thanks for help

How much smoke and did it keep smoking after the car warmed up?

temps are getting cooler, maybe what you are seeing is just condensed steam which you would not see in warmer times.
Did you own this car last year when it was cool or did you buy it in the summer?

Thanks to all for replies.
forgot to say it smells also. Is there any additive to add to the fuel to help?

Additives aren't typically going to help much; they smooth out the idle and provide some additional lubrication to the fuel more than anything.
Guesing you may have a weak or bad GP or have some oil leakdown into a cyl that goes away as the engine warms. I'd prob test the GP's with a multimeter first to determine their condition.
