smoke

Post by yeoman1 » Tue Jun 18, 2019 11:31 pm

Hi
Thanks for reading this and if anyone can help I shall be extremely grateful.
2007 3.0d sport, it has developed a problem that has no pattern to it. For no reason at all it will produce great billows of smoke that lasts anywhere between 60 and ninety secs, then nothing for maybe a day or two days then it will do it again. There is no loss of power and no warning lights come on. Anybody got any idea?

Thats oil burning, could be worn rings, valve seals or worse case your turbo is on it way out...
