Noticed a bit of a haze in the headlights of the car behind when setting off in the dark, which on a Euro5 with DPF I didn't think would/should happen.
Looks like white smoke, but having a poke around tonight it looks like what could just be ash from whatever crap the DPF has been burning.
Does this sound normal/possible or am I talking out of my arse?
Van uses no oil or coolant so I'm 99.9% certain everything is sorted in that respect, and the DPF appears to be doing its regens normally too.
(Mk7 2.2 125 Eu5)
