My 300 has just had a new head under warranty for a poreus head. Symptoms were blue white smoke on startup. Diganosed with oil on injector and glow plug then confirmed by a specialist.
Got the car back and it's still puffed white smoke this morning, starts fine but when revved it smokes for 10 secs or so, the smoke is not constant and puffs as if it's not all cylinders. Smokes again for a few hundred yards then it's fine until its stood for a long time and the colder it is the worse it is.
It also lacks a bit of power on hills, not as pokey as my 200 was but at more than half a ton more I don't know if I'm expecting too much.
Iv got all new filters and lift pump to go on tomorrow but it doesn't logically seem to be the lift pump for the smoke only the power.
Oh and it's a bit sluggish when cold
Any experience or advice would be appreciated
