White smoke is usually gas. Black smoke oil. It's probably flooding, injector or computer problems. Luckily, it sounds easily fixable at a good shop. A code reader will give clues, usually.
Oil smoke is blue, white smoke is condensation and emits steam on a cold morning, will disappear at operating temp If your car is a diesel, white smoke indicates unburnt fuel
Hi
White smoke is usually a good sign of un-burnt diesel so reading your post and all the things you have already changed ie the glow plugs I would have the injectors tested to make sure they are atomising properly as it sounds to me like when your car isn't under load ie at low revs you have a cylinder that isn't firing correctly
Hope this helps Nick
What color is the smoke ? is it bluish or is it white ?
The blue colored smoke would smell more like burning oil, which would indicate a broken piston ring, ect. the white smoke if it smells of coolant(anti-freeze) would lean toward a head gasket problem.
White smoke is a sign of antifreeze (coolant) mixing with your motor oil. Check your coolant to see if it is still full. And check your motor oil to see if it is overfull!
