    dc2r spitting water from exhaust

    hi guys im new to the forum and i own a AUDM dc2r. My car is unregistered and has been sitting in the garage for a while, however when i turn the car on and rev it, there is water spitting out of the exhaust followed by white smoke. There is a decent amount spitting out at high revs aswell. The car doesnt overheat and it doesnt lose any coolant. I have tried researching about this problem however people only say its from condensation however this is not the case as this happens even when the car has been left running for a while. Can anyone give me any advise or help or has anyone come across the same issue ?

    Here is what I do, since the car has been left sitting..

    Change the Oil + Filter,

    Spark Plugs,

    Fuel Filter,

    Air Filter,

    All other major fluids, tranny, brake, clutch & coolant.

    Make sure to use oil flush and upper head cleaner some sort.

    Clean the VTC or VTEC filters if applicable.

    Also get some cleaner and clean the throttle body.

    Drive the car around the block @ ur own risk ofcourse and inspect.

    Check the Tyre Pressures too, and warm up the brakes before trying em out.

    Yea do the service and report back.

    Maybe just cos it might have shit in there.

    Also renew your fuel, 98 sitting for a long time can go off.

    Specially if nothing was wrong with the car when you parked.

    Coolant burns white as dose brake fluid but the latter is uncommon. Servicing the car dosnt do anything to diagnose an issue so just service as required but I would be looking for ways that coolant can get into the cylinders (I.e head gasket) if you are 100% sure that it's not just condensation.

    His car has been sitting there for awhile..... if nothing was wrong when he parked it, there should be nothing wrong now.

    Freshening up fluids would ensure its not the lack of maintenance causing him problems.

    Yeah that's not how it works mate. Sitting for a long time can result in hoses deteriorating, gaskets and seals drying out which then fail, fluids going bad etc etc. A service dosnt fix all of this. That being said how long has it been sitting?

    I purchased the car a bit over 1 month ago but the previous owner had it unregistered for a while from what he said as he had unregisered it and left it in his garage. I will try and post a video of the water and smoke asap. thanks again for the help guys.
