Check immediately the turbocharger! DO NOT START THE ENGINE WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEM!
Remove the air inlet axial center hose of the turbocharger, in other words the compressor air inlet hose. Then check axial & radial gaps of the turbocharger rotor.
Check also the turbocharger oil pressure supply. Check the engine oil level also.
Repair & replace bad pieces.
In the most cases the turbocharger is out of order when engine puffing off blue smoke and losing power.
If the car goes in "limp mode"!!!
After scan the EDC-15P engine control unit with a VAG or KTS -BOSCH diagnosis tool you will find this: Fault code: P1557-Turbo Boost pressure control exceeded
1. Engine stopped and ignition switch off. Check all pneumatic connections and hoses between turbocharger actuator = pressure unit for boost-pressure control, boost-pressure control solenoid valve, vacuum reservoir, EGR control solenoid valve, intake-manifold flap solenoid valve, EGR valve with throttle - part of intake manifold. Also the vacuum connection between tandem pump and brake booster. If you find something wrong replace parts. If not go to step 2.
2. Extract the hose of the turbocharger actuator = pressure unit for boost-pressure control part of turbocharger. Instead of the original hose you must place another 1 meter long hose with the same inside diameter, and then you check to inspire yourself the air from the other one extremity of this hose. The mechanical connecting rod of the turbocharger actuator must have a smooth and whole motion. If you can do that with your mouth, then you must replace the boost-pressure control solenoid valve. If you can not reach this with your mouth, then you go to step 3.
3. This is the most difficult work. The problem is that the soot particles deposits inside the turbocharger plugging the variable nozzle geometry mechanism = adjustable vanes of the turbine. If the turbocharger actuator is not able to adjust the turbine vanes the charge air pressure increase too much and ECU (engine control unit) go in "limp mode" = engine protection software. As a result the "limp mode" engine still running until you turn the engine off (ignition switch off) and back on when the "limp mode" is deactivated, but the fault still remain in ECU memory!
4. You must be able to extract the turbo from the engine and then to disassemble the turbocharger, clean inside adjustable vanes mechanism and refit all.

Smoke when start moving.2.5 crdi 2006 model

if it smokes when you start moving , and then clears the first thing to do is change the air filter, even if it looks clean.
i would not even start looking for other causes until this has been done.
do not run the car without an air filter to test it as this will affect the airflow and can cause problems on its own. filters are very cheap and readily available. the slightest dirt on an air filter can reduce the air flow through it and while it may not appear dirty, it can affect airflow enough to result in a rich fuel mix being burnt under power, resulting in smoke. as you get up to speed and ease up on the throttle, not as much air is needed and enough can frow through the filter giving the correct fuel mix and less smoke.

if this does not work please feel free to ask again but 99 times out of 100 a new air filter will cure smoke when pulling away in a fairly new car.

I have a 1990 ford ranger xlt that blows out smoke from tailpipe its white with blue in it the mass airflow sensor doesnt do anything when un plugged it has a miss to its a 2.3 liter engine

Sounds like you have a blown head gasket - white smoke = coolant. Pull plugs and look for "steam cleaned plug" or for coolant in oil - looks milky.

High consumption of fuel,smoking alot and sometimes hardstart.After consulting with some experts and doing computer diagnosis it showed opening and closing idling coil and airflow sensor were all faulty.I...

Have the wires to the airflow sensor been cut and spliced back together? Because it sounds like someone put an airflow sensor from another vehicle on the car and rewired the harness so it would work. If that's the case, find where the wires have been cut and spliced and put them back the way they were The wires should be different colors, match the colors.

Turbo drops in and out and blows black smoke and after 10 miles on highway turbo doesnt work at all and no smoke

Check the plastic muffler on the turbo charger, they have a habit of failing and blocking airflow, shuts down the turbocharger.

Black exhaust smoke from Jeep Cherokee 2.5 CRD

The smoke and the the bogging down are due to either too much fuel flow or to too little airflow. Your engine is flooding and running way to rich hence the low fuel mileage. Could be a faulty pump with too high pressure, bad or wrong sized injectors, (assuming they actually fixed the sensor problem) or airflow restriction,
