smoke

Hi all, hopefully someone can help! I have a genuine E36 W124 estate, with 91k. It has an issue on cold starts whereby it takes a few turns to get going, then basically throws out blue unburnt fuel smoke from the rear - for about 30 seconds, then it's fine after that - no other issues...

Hi, my 2nd E300D W124 is now officially for sale. - 1995 N reg E300D Multivalve Diesel Saloon (3 litre) - 176,000 miles - Service History (last 50 odd has been DIY but documented, rest is MB Dealers - AMG spoiler and sideskirts - Wood & Leather steering wheel - 16" Mercedes 8 hole...

I can cruise around in my E220 CDI all day without any noticeable exhaust smoke. I don't even see any when the engine is cold-started. :) Very occasionally, I will put my foot down and then I can see a diesel smoke cloud in my rear view mirror. However, if I repeat the manoeuvre then there is...

Not a problem for me since I drive a petrol engine, but I was curious to know what causes the small puffs of black smoke sometimes seen when a diesel engine accelerates suddenly. My understanding is that when suddenly accelerating, there is a momentary inbalance between the air / fuel mixture...

Hello I was up in the lakes with my father inlaw who has an ML270Cdi. We had left the site and they were a little behind us and never actually caught up.... Anyway, he said that when driving on the A road to the motorway his car was bellowing out a fair amount of white smoke.....he was...

I've just got back from a long trip to the North in my 124, the car performed very well apart from this one issue. After I had set off today, I noticed quite a lot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust in the passenger mirror whenever I accelerated, it seemed to go away when I was coasting...

:mad: :mad: Brainstorming required, folks! My project Elegance estate TD smokes at idle, compared to my identical daily driver. Spec: 180K, oil and filters changed, previous owners bodgery eliminated (manifold gaskets, breather rubbers, cam cover leaks), turbo and injector nozzles rebuilt, glow...

Could these be related? Was told today that on the maifold the link between the motor and valves has broke and so they are stuck in the open position causing the rattling/ticking noise and the excessive smoke on harsh acceleration. Originally thought it was a leaky injector seal but all are...

Hi, After getting fed up with the inlet flaps sticking on my W210 220 cdi and the linkage forever coming off I removed the manifold and gave it a clean out..... absolutly filthy. Replaced and started the car to find clouds of white smoke pouring from the exhaust. Have left running but is not...

Hi, first post to forum and would appreciate any help. The car starts from cold with white smoke from the exhaust which clears soon after. On a run and when warm it will smoke generally at junctions and when pulling away. Noticed the fuel consumption at tick-over is around 17mpg but am sure it...

wanted - a pair of front wings for a W124 in smoke silver metallic. Must be mostly-rust free (but will consider minor rust if the price is right!) ideally, the drivers side will have the vent in for the intake.... will condiser just 1 side if you only have the 1 wing PM me if you...

Hi - I've noticed that if I'm overtaking or giving the car a bit of welly at higher speed there's a load of smoke (I don't think it's particularly dark) visible in the rearview mirror. The car seems to drive pretty well. It's 2003 with nearly 70k on the clock but as far as I can tell seems fine...

Hi MB gurus, Today I had found blue smoke coming out of the car,only when RPM exceeds 3500.the engine is in very good condition,no oil on the spark plugs,at oil change there is no oil missing. I have oil leak near the belt tensioner (front of engine has lots of oil on it ) and this oil started...

Serious Help needed!!! got a 96 E300 Diesel (not turbo). It was started to give problems: at idle it is OK. If I rev the engine I get plumes of white smoke from the exhaust. the engine seems to be mis-firing when it does this. when driving the car jerks a lot, and gives off white smoke. it...

Don't ask me why, but after recently buying some new smoke/fire alarms, I thought it a good opportunity to remind everyone else. If you haven't done recently, check or replace the batteries, and if you haven't got them yet, buy some!! For a few minutes or just a few quid if you need them...

Firstly hi to all MB club members. I just purchased a 2001 E320 CDI and it has an intermittend starting issue and is also started producing some strong smelling bluey grey smoke. 9 out of 10 times it will start first time but every now and then it will take upto 10 attempts before it will fire...

Hi, I've just bought a C220 cdi W203. I was driving along at about 20mph (on an industrial estate, not cruising!) when the car started pouring out more white smoke than I'd ever seen before from an engine. I turned the ignition off but the car kept runing for a while with the revs racing up...

Hi all I've got a w211 220cdi 2002. When the car is started first thing in the morning, the car gives off whitish smoke. It smells like unburnt diesel and it's definitely not water vapour. The idle is very slightly erratic, as if the car is missing every now and then, but it's not major. Now...

Sorry guys havent been on the forum lately been busy:crazy:. but anyways my C270 CDI is blowing puff of black smoke when you step on it (full theottle). Is this normal? The engine was serviced about 5000km ago. New air, fuel and Oil filters were installed. Using Mobil synthetics and Shell Diesel...
