Hi there guys the last time I posted was of a DPF problem that is now sorted.
My current problem with my car is that it Smokes white while idling for more than 2-3 minutes (it smokes all the time when in traffic jams).
As I wait the smoke builds up but only slowly comes out of the exhaust. However when I rev the engine or move off aggressively a thick cloud of smoke comes out and as I rev for longer it clears out and only comes back after idling again. It doesn't matter when the car is hot warm or cold same thing all the time.
I have taken the car to a mechanic and they couldn't figure it out.(they said white smoke is water vapour but I'm not losing water)
Here is what I have done so far:
Check water levels (same no change in that or mixed with oil so its clean)
Check oil (oil is good changed 2k miles ago and no mixed water)
Here is a little history of the car:
2k miles ago I had the turbo replaced by new turbo from essex turbo. After I had this fitted after 200 miles the top hose on the turbo pipe came loose and it was tightened and it came loose again and we had the seal replaced.
This problem started after about 1k miles after the turbo replacement.
The turbo seems fine as it pulls back with excellent power.
So what are your suggestions?
The car is a Mercedes CLS 320 CDI V6 2005 (55 plate) on 140k miles.
I am located in North London Edmonton
