Hi all.
I started my W210 E320 CDI this afternoon and i noticed that the exhaust emits white greyish smoke which stinks of raw diesel and stings in the eyes.

I did put some diesel injector cleaner in the tank which was about 1/4 full and i also did reseal some injectors and replaced one with brand new MB injector same serial number.

Could it be the injector cleaner been used with low amount of diesel causing all this or its my injectors that need overhaul? The car seems to idle ok apart from this smoking
 
Well when ever I have added injector cleaner in a 1/4 tank of diesel it was to get a quick clean out of the system,I used to do this in a near empty industrial estate early morning and then drive around belching out black smoke until it clears and then filled the tank right after that,I would fill your car up and give it a run and see what happens.
