Newbie on here as been looking online about my mentioned title but wanted to check with you guys on here.
I seem to be getting a fair amount of bluey/ white smoke out the exhaust when pulling away from stationary and seems to be especially worse when the engine is cold. Even when the engine is warmed up fully I still see blue tinted smoke even if I get the revs up to like 3000 rpm and quickly get out and look around the back end of the car.
The car is on 135,000 miles, 05 plate TDI 140. I have only had the car since October 2016 and i think its been a bit smokey since then and i probably shouldn't have bought it but i took my chances. 4 months on I am now getting more concerned as I don't want to do any further damage to whatever is causing the smoke to occur.
Since i have had the car I did an oil change with Mobil 1 oil and had the cambelt and water pump changed.
Limp mode kicked in the other day for the first time but i was purposely thrashing it to try and clear out the turbo a bit, turbo seems to boost ok etc.
At the moment i am running supermarket fuel but someone recommended that i use a better diesel from BP or Shell etc and also stick in some Millers additive.
Looking online it could be a number of things but what should i check first?
Any input would be appreciated.
Cheers
Mark
