alexp999 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 What colour is smoke? Need to get code reader on it, to determine what's triggering engine management light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren78h Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 The colour is white,. Have a mate with diagnostic reader coming tonight, but wondered if anybody knew what it could be, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 What engine is it? White "smoke" is normally steam, so coolant being boiled off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren78h Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 It's 1.6 zetec, It's not steam, defo smoke, coolant level is fine, engine struggles on idle although it's being started of something and vibrates really bad, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Andy_M Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Sounds like you're burning oil to me. Being a 1.6 TDCi on a MK2 this could be injector seals or turbo related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren78h Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 It's petrol not diesel, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic113 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Maybe a blocked cat or exhaust??? some codes should point to in the right area I would suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
