Caddy struggling to start/producing white smoke on startup
My Caddy (2011 1.6) sometimes has trouble starting up and produces white smoke on startup, then the engine is a bit lumpy for a little while. Any Ideas what the problem could be (Its due an MOT next week, so I'll be getting it looked at anyway).

White smoke generally means moisture somewhere in the system. If it's been sitting for a while it could just be condensation. On the other end, it could be coolant getting into the combustion chamber somehow. Keep an eye on your coolant level.
