Took my RCZ 156 1:6ltr petrol 2013 for a run up the motorway for 25 miles on a cold damp day after a over a week of non use . Got caught in a traffic jam after coming to the end for 20 minutes with the car idling .When I pulled away there white smoke out of the exhaust then it cleared. The engine temp was normal and the cooling system was at the right level no lights on no warning messages. Should I get it checked out at the garage? Cheers Peter .

Nah, it's pretty normal in cold weather. It's not smoke, it's vapour, but it does look quite alarming when you see it in your rearview mirror!

It could also be the valve stem seals leaking. Had this on mine and had to replace them, no puffs of smoke since
