ignition coil

Unread post by matty1626 »

Citroen xsara picasso 1.8 petrol

i had my ignition coil fail a couple of weeks ago i replaced this along with the spark plugs. But since i have replaced ive noticed on my journey to work which is about 15 mile. The last few mile when im stuck in traffic and the car is idle when i pull away there is a puff of smoke i never noticed this before the coil pack went. Would the breather pipes need cleaning or replacing or is it something else.

Where is the smoke coming from? The back of the car or the front?
