white smoke when slowing down--300tdi

My 300tdi has developed a problem.. tons of white smoke on slowing down ..any help please

It's polite to nip over to the intro section and say hello first but :welcome2: anyway. I'd suspect injector fault but I'm sure someone who knows better will be along in a bit

Sounds a bit like head gasket time....

How's the water level.....

hello all sorry have not done the intro thing yet ..but i will.. the cylinder head was replaced only about 6 months ago with a completely new one, water level is good, i have the inter-cooler off at the moment for a clean as it is very oily, whats the best way to clean said inte-cooler ?

Flush inter cooler with petrol, remove from car first though...

BUT LEAVE TO BREATH FOR AT LEAST 30 MINS AFTER OR THE ENGINE WILL REV IT'S NUTS OFF.

Sorry for caps but that is soooo important

is there suppose to be oil coming from the Turbo ?

Click to expand...

some will as normal so pipes will be wet but if you pull pipe from turbo to coooler off let engine run at idle,and oil drips or worse from turbo its knackered and engine shouldnt be run with pipe reconnected

thats the oulet pipe ..yes..i will check tomorrow on that, engine appears to have plenty of power and it only smokes when warm and when slowing down.. but then its real James Bond type smoke, you say Knackered are we talking new turbo ?
