No, it won't. If it's black smoke, you're getting too much fuel. If it's blue smoke, your engine is worn out. If you're getting a lot of white smoke, the head gasket needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: 2000 TDI - Lots of white smoke at cold start.

Sounds like your injection pump timing is off, an injector is leaking or a bad seal on your IP.
VW dealers have a horrible reputation when it comes to TDI's. Check out the posts over at www.tdiclub.com Those guys are very knowledgeable - and the first thing they'll tell you is don't take it to a dealer.
You can probably find someone in your area that has a copy of Vag-Com (scantool software that vw uses) software that could look at your timing. It definitely sounds like your dealer was throwing parts at your car because they didn't know what your problem is. If I were you, I'd copy and paste your post from here over at www.tdiclub.com

SOURCE: Lack of power, exhaust smoke and engine miss

Just an idea but the Ford Mondeo ( european car ) from which I believe your engine
is taken has a habit of splitting a low pressure tube at the back
of the engine this is a relatively
cheap, easy fix. The other symptom this used to throw up was a
little more black smoke from the exhaust and a pacing/ surging from
the engine.

2009GMC acadia code po497

DTC P0497: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System No Flow During Purge
Circuit/System Description
The control module tests the evaporative emission (EVAP) system for a large leak, or a stuck closed EVAP canister purge valve. The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor signal to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. When the conditions for running are met, the control module commands the EVAP canister purge valve OPEN and the EVAP vent valve CLOSED. This allows engine vacuum to enter the EVAP system. At a calibrated time, or vacuum level, the control module commands the EVAP canister purge valve closed, sealing the system, and monitors the FTP sensor input in order to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. If the system is unable to achieve the calibrated vacuum level, or the vacuum level increases too slowly, a DTC sets.

Diagnostic Aids
• A loose, missing, or damaged fuel fill cap can cause this DTC to set.
• A stuck closed, blocked, or restricted EVAP canister purge solenoid valve, can cause this DTC to set.
• A blockage or restriction in the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve vacuum supply hose, EVAP canister purge solenoid valve purge pipe, EVAP canister, or vapor pipe, can cause this DTC to set.
• A temporary blockage in the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve, purge pipe or EVAP canister could cause an intermittent condition. Inspect and repair any restriction in the EVAP system.
• To help locate intermittent leaks, use the J 41413-200 Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) to introduce smoke into the EVAP system. Move all EVAP components while observing smoke with the J 41413-SPT High Intensity White Light. Introducing smoke in 15 second intervals will allow less pressure into the EVAP system. When the system is less pressurized, the smoke will sometimes escape in a more condensed manner.
• To improve the visibility of the smoke exiting the EVAP system, observe the suspected leak area from different angles with the J 41413-SPT .
• Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition occurs that caused the DTC to set. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.

My 2010 navara has broken down and come up with the faults PO403 EGR system and P0089 fuel pump, what's the most likely problem? It's lost all power and blowing smoke out.

code p 0403 refers to exhaust system gas recirculation (EGR)---circuit malfunction====causes wiring---EGR solenoid ---ECM
code p 0089 refers to fuel pressure regulator---performance problem===causes fuel pressure regulator---mechanical fault
as you indicate smoke , that would be black smoke , so that indicates a problem in the pressure regulation making the injectors pass more fuel ( flooding) than the ECM cam control
The end result can be blown seals at the injectors or injector problems
at this point replace the pressure regulator, then consider the EGR solenoid

Hi I have a 1997 cadillac eldorado 4.6l northstar engine. It went from normal to blows clouds of smoke out the rear exhaust. Run sluggish.

clouds of smoke out the rear exhaus ,What color ? blue smoke is oil , white smoke is most of the time coolant is getting into the engines cylinders , Black the engine is running rich ,too much fuel . DTC P0135 HO2S Heater Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1
DTC P0147 HO2S Heater Performance Bank 1 Sensor 3
DTC P0340 IC Module Cam Reference CKT No Frequency
DTC P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Flow Insufficient
P0441 has nothing to do with the gas cap !
DTC P0441 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System No Flow During Purge
DTC P1441 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Flow During Non-Purge

P0441 & P1441 will be back , may take a day or two , but will be back because gas cap has nothing to do with it .

Honestly , you should take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop !

P1130,p1131,p1132,p0402

p 0402 is EGR valve and solenoid problems
that sort of back pressure indicates cat converter is blocking the exhaust system
the rest are o2 and Ho2 sensor problems probably from the faulty cat
one side would be oxygen sensor trying to adjust mixture but unable from cat
fix the cat converter/s and then get a fault code reading
next post include make , model and year and engine type

I am having a smoke problem it a blue smoke if the car is at an idle no smoke give it gas and it smokes I should also mention that the car only smokes after it wormed up had two codes one for the egr and...

smoking after a period of idling indicates that the valve stem seals have failed. Normally it will require a head off job to replace the seals but if you can find an accredited shop with the correct tools and knowledge it can be done without pulling the head/s

Would a clogged egr valve cause my engine to smoke

A clogged EGR would remain open to manifold vacuum and cause the sensors to believe the engine is running too lean. The fuel system would be instructed to add more fuel to the engine and your mileage will go to the basement as the engine is using more fuel to compensate for the extra air it is getting. Between the extra fuel burning and the uncontrolled flow of crankcase gasses flooding into your intake, it is possible for some smoke/vapor to appear after your cat converter is overloaded.

2003 dodge carvan 3.3 purge control valve

The EVAP Purge valve on my 2003 Caravan is located under the car just behind the transmission in front of the front evap cannister (there are two cannisters on my car connected by a hose). It kind of looks like a black plastic EGR valve, but a bit bigger. I also had a vacuum leak. I found a ripped hose, replaced it, and still get the same code. I'm on the verge of getting a smoke test. Very aggravating. I tested my purge valve by removing it and applyiing vacuum. Was told that if it holds vacuum for 10 seconds it's good.

My vauxall vectra when I accelerate smoke comes out the exost and there is no lift

what cc is the engine. what color is the smoke.... gray is water and normal. white over water in the exhaust usually means you been parking on a hill with the back of the the car facing the top of the hill. it water logs the cat in the exhaust. takes a long time to get the water out so you need a long run to do this. black smoke head problems could be the egr or the head gasket....
