Hello from germany,

i bought a Discovery 3 with an engine failure. 2.7 Diesel, Euro4.
It's a special camper edition from Denmark, so I took it.

The car will be transported to the car repair service next week.

When the car was started for the first time, it had developed thick white smoke at the rear. Now no more white smoke at the start afterwards.

I have 2 Youtube videos. Can the experts hear what damage the car maybe have?




This might give us some clues for troubleshooting.
There are no warning lights or error messages in the speedometer.

Thank you very much and best regards
Dejan
 
Drain the oil and see what it looks like, dont suck it out, actually drain it out to make sure any debris comes out.
Also remove and check the oil filter checking for debris, plus to see if it has been crushed.

He's not been on the forum since posting the question, so I wouldn't expect any kind of response.
