Hi!

My VW golf car is working well until the motor temperature reach above 90 degree Celsius. When the motor heat up till 90 degree it emits lot of smoke (white –blue-black). I am not sure how it is coming. Is it due to the motor problem or something else? Do you have any idea? I am waiting for your kind reply in this regards.
