2LTE Smoking when accelerating

Post by Samx4x4 »

Hi

My 2LTE when it starts has abit of white smoke with black smoke and then idles fine with no smoke, then when i take off or just pump the accelerator it smokes white and black then just black. It's not using any water or oil nor is it lacking in power. The service supposably was done around 3000kms ago. What could this be? any ideas?

Thanks

i mite be wrong but i thought that white smoke was oil burning through turbo,my legacy gt used to blow white smoke on second turbo.black is usually unburnt fuel.as to prob not to sure sorry

cold or hot?

white is poorly burnt fuel. commonly to cold ie dead glow plugs. but also can be timing issue or air leak into fuel (injection pump seals).

have you got egr blocked? if so is egr butterfly disconnected?
