2016 2.2 tdci smoking.

Postby Seanburns53 » Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:19 am

Hi everyone, I bought at 2016 Transit 350 yesterday. Its got 70k miles and had a new turbo fitted before being parked up for 4 months. After test drive and heading home I noticed a burning smell and blueish smoke coming from exhaust when accelerating. It has full power, sounds spot on amd isn't overheating. No smoke from engine area, exhaust only. Has anyone any insight? I drove it 75 miles last night and it still smokes.

Blue smoke is oil burning, best you check the turbo and intercooler for excess oil.

Thank you. It's going back to the garage that did the turbo a month ago. Hopefully just oil down the exhaust from the turbo blowing.

Could also be the intercooler still full of oil.
