Ah good yep, I am hoping its just a dodgy turbo but would figure oil burning in the exhaust would be blue and not white/grey... it certainly smells like diesel as well, not definitely oil.Quote:

Wind your injector pump back a bit, then reduce the boost to standard and try again.
There is excessive fuel is being delivered before the turbo had a chance to be spooled up.

I had a similar smoke situation with my 300tdi. Turbo failed and oil passing through the turbo made this same coloured smoke, oil which has hit a hot surface like the turbine housing will cause a white smoke unlike when oil is carried in smaller particles through the exhaust gas and comes out blue. Try a good 2nd hand turbo and see if that sorts out the issue. You should be able to pick a turbo/ manifold for 300.

Good info, just what I was looking for. Cheers.Quote:

I removed the top Banjo bolt and hung it off, still attached to the turbo. Then using the old line with converters to 1/4 line attached the air compressor and bolted it up to the top of the turbo.
With the oil cap off and the cyclonic cleaner undone at the intake I pumped 120PSI through it for a few seconds and it came out of the oil cap... so up through the oil gallaries?
I closed of the oil cap and did it again, this time it came out of the cyclonic cleaner as expected - all good. I blocked that off and moved to step 3...
With both pressure outlets plugged leaving only the oil delivery line hanging off the block as the only release, I repeated the air compressor... nothing...
3 good supplies of air later (and a careless disregard for any and all seals in the engine :D) the oil feed line exploded into a geyser of engine oil!
Whacked it all back together, checked over the engine and degreased, checked again at idle then did a quick run down the street.
No smoke !!!!
A 20 minute run on the highway getting the EGT's up to 550 and the exhaust is now free of oil residue and a healthy grey/black color :)
Tomorrow will be an oil flush and filter change......................
