white smoke while idle ( ml320 )

[MakinaCore]

had this car 3 months ( robbed as it had a fake mot on it ) obvs the guy denied it pmsl anyways

i know it needs new fuel injectors ( had them taking out and cleaned and dipped for 24hrs )

glowplug moduel has died ( needs fixed )

erg valve has been taking out cleaned and damaged ( not me ) so needs a new one

so what the main thing is after sitting idle smoke starts bursting out the exhaust now it smells like burnt diesel the smoke is white so cant be oil as its usually black smoke for that if anyone knows if any the other problems above are related could you let me know ...

other than that the car drives good

It’s usually dripping injectors. The earlier pre-bluetec cars suffer with this. I’ve seen people mistakenly replace the turbo, thinking it’s oil leaking into the exhaust turbine side. I’d remove the injectors again and get them tested for dripping at a test specialist. It’s very obvious when they are pressured up on a test bench.
