- Vito Traveliner 110
As some of my have notice on previous threads I have a little problem in my Vito with poor performance, occasional limp mode, big puff of white smoke on startup from cold, small amount of white smoke when warm.
When I bought the van the waste gate on the turbo had been cable tied open but the waste gate seems to move freely.
Mechanic 1 said the turbo seemed to be leaking, had oil in it causing the smoking and performance lose.
Mechanic 2 said white smoke is probably nothing to do with the turbo (which may have other faults) and probably an injector issue.
Any suggestions??
Would an immersions test help in working out if is diesel or oil smoke?
Dont want to replace the turbo without good reason ;-(
