White Smoke!!!!!

baitman · Oct 27, 2008

Hi just joined and currently having an issue with My Freelander TD4 and white smoke under idleing conditions and hard acceleration.
Engine was Chipped 2 years ago by JE Engineering and what a difference that made, but recently the above has started to happen.
could it be a blocked or faulty injector?
what does cooking oil do?
has anybody else had this issue?
cheers

Very generally:

Black Smoke
Due to air to fuel ratio imbalance, either the fuel system is delivering too much fuel into the engine or there is not enough clean air (oxygen ) a few things to look for :

Faulty injectors
Faulty injector pump
Dirty air cleaner
Turbocharger or intercooler faulty
Problems within cylinder head, valves clogged up due to faulty EGR (exhaust gas recycling unit)

White Smoke
Normally means that the fuel injected into the cylinder is not burning correctly. The smoke will burn your eyes.

Engine/pump timing out
Fuel starvation to the pump causing the pumps timing not to operate correctly
Low engine compression
Water/petrol in the fuel

Blue Smoke
The engine is burning engine oil

Worn cylinders or piston rings
Faulty valves or valve stem seals
Engine over full with engine oil
Faulty injector pump/lift pump allowing engine oil to be mixed with the diesel

Guys, thanks for all the comments regarding my freelander (gaylander ? have i joined the right site!!!!!) & white smoke, but the problem has now been resolved
it was a block oil feeder pipe, which has now had a new filter and a clean and now runs fine.
as for owning a freelander, i think they great even better with an engine re map, although i haven't done much off roading with it!!!
missus gets scared going through bloody puddles !
thanks
