Hi can anyone please help
I have smoke coming out from under my bonnet on the passenger side when I start my car and run for a few mins
This seems to stop once I've driven for a bit
Many thanks

Hiya

sounds like the FBH, will come on below 7c, u should see a small exhaust by ur passenger side front wheel

it would of course also be best to lift ur bonnet to ensure 100% it’s that , then start the engine and see where it’s coming from

hope that helps

ur very welcome , apologies, FBH is fuel burner heater , ur arrow is the FBH exhaust

basically heats ur engine up quicker when it’s below 7c and therefore get the cabin warmer quicker

some more info for u
