Frisco1522 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Three times in the last 2 or 3 months and after sitting a day in the garage, when I started my Edge it put out a pretty sizable blue cloud from the tailpipes. It only does it on rare occasions. I have an appointment tomorrow to leave it at the dealer, but will probably cancel since it's not doing it now. I've even gone as far as to video the starts in case it does it again so I can show the service manager. Nothing. I have a little over 24K on it, doesn't burn oil, no check engine, runs fine and gets decent mileage. Inside tail pipes are black. Anybody else had this problem?

nickf1011 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Changed the PCV valve since you bought it? If that's stuck open, the smoke could just be some excess oil that was blown into the intake being burned off on startup. Similar issue happened on my old Mazda6. Cheap fix as well. Hopefully it's just something minor like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantan Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I Googled this topic and the turbo blower came up as a possible root cause. Please keep us posted what solves the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco1522 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hasn't done it again so I don't have a clue. Cancelled the dealer visit because had nothing for them to see. I have been videotaping every time we start it, but naturally it won't do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
