When you press the accelerator thick white smoke comes from the exhaust. The things i notice from the engine bay are that the intercooler pipe collapses(as the revs drop the pipe goes bock to normal) and a noise can be heard coming from around the turbo. The smoke gets heavier as you rev, you literally cant see through the smoke. I have tried a new air flow meter, it already has a new air filter.
There was a small drop of oil inside the turbo where the pipe connects to it.
Really appreciate any ideas. Thank you.
Thick white smoke coming from exhaust
I would think this will be a blown turbo.
These are fed by a small oil pipe and if the unit overheats (due to wear) - this oil fill feed directly into either the inlet manifold - or the outlet - exhaust.
If it is spilling oil into the hot exhaust - you will get a thick white fog. You can confirm this by placing a clear glass bottle or jar in the exhaust stream - and see if it gets a thick coating of oil on it. If it evaporates - it's water, if not - or feels oily - new turbo or overhaul.
Best get is sortd sooner rather than later - as you may be able to save most of it for an overhaul rather than scrap it if badly worn.
You have a blown head gasket you need to get it to a shop as soon as you can
