smokey

Hi I'm have an e220 2016 (facelift) It's a year old and covered 6k miles. I noticed while stationary that after about 5 minutes there seemed to be a fair bit of smoke coming from the exhaust while idling. Not faults on the dash and I've had several modern merc diesels in recent years...

Gutted, just took my car out a run and all off a sudden started pouring smoke out the back. It seems to be burning oil. Got home and wasn't as bad. Back end of the car is covered in oil and car is stinking. Anyone experienced this? It's under warranty so will be on the phone to MB tomorrow.

Since having a decat downpipe and remap my E63 is VERY smokey at idle (even when warm!) , is this normal for a decatted car ? From memory, my decatted GT-R wasnt smokey at idle ! Also , every time I start the car since being mapped I get a warning on the dash saying "no SOS available " Any...

Over the last few months my CLK has been getting more and more smokey. I mean really smokey. When I accelerated there was such a cloud of black smoke I couldn't see the car behind. Firstly I cleaned the EGR valve. OMG :eek: This job really upset the long haired General as I managed to...

So my lovely Viano 3.2 petrol - drives with no issues no lights etc but is always quiet smokey on start up. It's a white / grey smoke but just seems heavier than my other cars Is it a sign of something to worry about ???

I was thinking of cleaning the egr with a tin of the spray you can buy from halfords? Just wanted to check that firstly mines has an egr and secondly do I just undo the air intake at the air box and spray the cleaner into there? And hello noobie alert from Glasgow

Hi My new neighbour has installed two solid fuel burners in his house. No probs with that. Trouble is, his house sits below the height of my house, so much so that his chimneys are level with my windows. So we have no need to look outside to see if he has lit a fire as our house fills up...

Hi all. My beloved C250D 1995, which has done 92k miles has always run a little rough between 2 and 300rpm. It has recently got much worse and barely runs at those revs. It misfires irregularly very badly and poors smoke out. At idle and other revs and even on full accelaration, it behaves...

Folks, Could do with a bit of advice on what to check. Currently got my Dads E320 CDI (1999). Now it's a bit on the leggy side, but I've driven it quite a bit. Dad warned me that it's got a bit smokey. Now really that was somewhat of an understatement. My observations :- 1) Smoke on...
