Thanks. Its a fairly large cloud of smoke and it seems to be happening more frequently as in maybe one in five or ten starts. I'll have it checked out before my warranty expires!

Just an update. I still have not experienced this since I stopped stepping on the accelerator while starting the car. I now think that my problem was due to this.

It appears to be white. Lingers in the garage for a while before dissapating. Usually see when starting the car for the first time of the day but not every time.

Exhaust Smoke on Starting

I am certain that this has been covered many times but all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

On the initial (morning) start up my 2004 Boxster emits LOTS of smoke. Can this be prevented?

Wheel Bearing

Just had a wheel bearing replaced on my 2004 Boxster. Sounds like the same problem. My factory warranty covered it.
