Hi just joined and currently having an issue with My Freelander TD4 and white smoke under idleing conditions and hard acceleration.
Engine was Chipped 2 years ago by JE Engineering and what a difference that made, but recently the above has started to happen.
could it be a blocked or faulty injector?
what does cooking oil do?
has anybody else had this issue?
cheers

Very generally:

Black Smoke
Due to air to fuel ratio imbalance, either the fuel system is delivering too much fuel into the engine or there is not enough clean air (oxygen ) a few things to look for :​
  • Faulty injectors​
  • Faulty injector pump​
  • Dirty air cleaner​
  • Turbocharger or intercooler faulty​
  • Problems within cylinder head, valves clogged up due to faulty EGR (exhaust gas recycling unit)​
White Smoke
Normally means that the fuel injected into the cylinder is not burning correctly. The smoke will burn your eyes.​
  • Engine/pump timing out
  • Fuel starvation to the pump causing the pumps timing not to operate correctly
  • Low engine compression
  • Water/petrol in the fuel
Blue Smoke
The engine is burning engine oil
  • Worn cylinders or piston rings
  • Faulty valves or valve stem seals
  • Engine over full with engine oil
  • Faulty injector pump/lift pump allowing engine oil to be mixed with the diesel
 
Guys, thanks for all the comments regarding my freelander (gaylander ? have i joined the right site!!!!!) & white smoke, but the problem has now been resolved
it was a block oil feeder pipe, which has now had a new filter and a clean and now runs fine.
as for owning a freelander, i think they great even better with an engine re map, although i haven't done much off roading with it!!!
missus gets scared going through bloody puddles !
thanks
