Hello All,

enclosed a few videos:



In the beginning he hardly smokes at all, then it becomes more and more. If it is white smoke, should it be related to the cylinder head gasket, if I remember correctly? But then the cooling liquid remains more or less constant. The workshop had tested it not too long ago and said it was tight, which shouldn't be the problem with the td4 anyway, no?
I have disconnected the maf in the videos, so that should not be the problem. It was new two years ago and Bosch, could only screw in the old one, it is still lying around.

The car has been standing a lot lately and last week I noticed water in the ditch from the oil filler. I removed it, but wondered if any water could have got into the engine through the cover or what else could be the reason? Enclosed a picture of the cover and into the inlet. Imam not sure where it came from, but one of the injectors is slightly rusty already. Possibly from the seal behind the bonnet.


Many greetings
Matthias
Addendum:
The injectors were replaced and the turbo also in 2018 along with the pcv valve.

It's just water vapour, that is condensing in the cold exhaust system.
If you take is for a good run, the exhaust will heat up and the vapour should stop.
