Scenario:
I was in traffic for a good hour with the engine on tick over going nowhere. Sometimes I turned off the engine as stuck in traffic for ages with out moving. I then realised in first gear a puff of white smoke would happen. I ignored it at first then it got worse and worse. Very bad infact I switched the hazards on and waited for the traffic to flow.
I then gave it a good blast and in a bout 5mins it all dissappeared and went back to normal. And had no problem thus far.
Note: I realised that when it was puffing white smoke I went into first gear and I could here a mechanical type of clicking then second gear it was fine. This may have othing to do with the problem.
What i have done: I have changed the egr (blanking one) and cleaned the inlet manifold. The week before.
What I think the problem is: I did some research and searched on here and seen about the crankcase breather, then I saw about problem about injectors... I remembered that before I set off on that journey I put some of that millers diesel automax injector cleaner stuff. I also remembered I put a silly amount in by accident, as in I put double the amount 100ml instead of the 50ml.
Do you think this could of caused the problem as i read white smoke is unburnt fuel and sitting in traffic plus over filling with millers could cause this. And if so do you think the fl will be ok now, as said I have not seen any more smoke since. (When I say since I mean 2 days after)
