'02 S4 sedan, 115k miles...

parked the car this morning after a trip out to get coffee, saw a few wisps of smoke coming out from the passenger side headlight. i opened up the hood, and seemed it seemed to be coming from rear passenger side of the engine, although i couldn't see from exactly where. it was pretty light, but then again i'm worried if i go for a longer drive it might get worse. it wasn't a coolant or oil smell, so i'm kinda worried...

is it likely a piece of trash just got up in there and is burning off? i hadn't driven the car since friday around lunchtime. no codes have been thrown, temperatures looked normal.

any help would be appreciated,

thanks-

2nd.

Audi's are addicting

That fell down and was burning whenever i drove around lasted for a couple days, i had some smoke coming and i could smell it inside the car, check your zip ties above the exhaust to see if they tails are still there
