C5 'hiccup'
Was driving my 1.8 petrol C5 today and when slowing to approach a roundabout, saw nothing coming so re-applied the accelerator and heard an odd metallic noise but car responded ok. It wasn't till I glanced in my rear view mirror that I saw the small blue-ish cloud I'd left behind It hasn't done it again, but I'm now concerned as to what it could be? Anyone got any ideas?

Could have been pinking but I didn't think modern petrol engines could do that.

Is your exhaust any noisier?

Rear silencer is a little raspy, but don't think any more since this happened.

Just thinking you might have blown a bit of a silencer baffle out the tail pipe.

Re: C5 'hiccup'
Maybe, I'm wondering whether this is linked with my ongoing misfire at 1600/1700rpm, which was put down to possibly being a sticky egr valve. It's been cleaned, just not replaced, and the miss doesn't always happen.
