think thats your problem , you dont stretch its legs enough .... diesels need a good clear out . take it up the road or motorway, and give it a good thrash in 3rd and 4th gear , hold it at 3500 revs for a bit and watch all that smoke come out. my cdt dont smoke at all, as i give it a clear out every week ..... also when was it last serviced ? and pcv changed ? also check egr that will be blocked no doubt.

The PCV will more than likely need changing to.
Its Another cause of smoke loss of power and much worse if left. Jules Member on here has the replacement filters on here cheap. |
