If the engine management light comes on....what fault codes are you getting..?? Guessing is pointless.

Did its previous engine or turbo fail and dump engine oil down the exhaust / into dpf ?
Or is it smoking because it’s trying to do a regen with a bad vaporiser or missing dpf,what colour is the smoke ?
