hi guys just been and checked my nova and realised after starting it theres water comin from my exhaust:roll: is this due to the weather being cold and its just condensation inside the engine coming out:confused: or is it major things going on with my engine as its only a 1.2 tho i reckon myself its just ice formed somewhere inside the engine but does anyone know of this happening?plz help thanx dal

Does the engine run roughly when you start it up as though its off a cylinder? Check your coolant level and make sure its just antifreeze and water in there.the 1200cc engines suffer from headgasket failure fairly regular but Its probably just down to the weather, if you give it a clean out down the bypass it'll be fine and wont rot your exhaust (if its not a full stainless)

It will be condensation with it being so freezing cold outside.
