That would explain the smoke from the back of the engine. I think oil is leaking onto hot parts creating smoke.

I don’t know how to remove the turbo, sorry.

Have you got enough oil in the engine? As Willber said, you shouldn’t be starting it if there’s not enough oil in it. That could definitely create smoke & do serious damage! Make sure the oil is where its supposed to be.

yes i do have oil in but not to the level it should be.i have no transport to go get any....i think the turbo is drinking all the oil....the car did smoke even when the oil was full. i even removed a bit of oil just in case the mechanic had put too much oil in.but no difference. by the way...i got the rev counter up to just over 5 which i thought was good.has that confused things....if i have to go and buy some oil i will.its just that loosing all that genuine volvo oil the mechanic put in has annoyed me

Make sure the oil is at least above minimum & keep your eye on it. Don’t fill it to max, as if it loses oil, at least you won’t lose loads. Keeping it above minimum means its safe to start the engine, but always check the oil before starting if you suspect oil is being lost.

hi all i have just read this....https://carfromjapan.com/article/car...-from-exhaust/....When you encounter white smoke in your diesel-powered car, it means the fuel is not burning correctly due to a lack of heat in the combustion chamber. The unburnt diesel does not only cause white smoke but also contains certain toxins that will likely sting your eyes...this is exactly what i am experiencing...does this mean injectors?

It could be injectors causing white smoke.

It could be a coolant leak.

It could be a bad head gasket.

Cracked cylinder head or block.

There’s no definite answer to the cause of the white smoke. It could be the injectors, but it could be other things.

You need to do a leak off test on the injectors to check their operation. Don’t just change them for the sake of it.

Same as the head gasket. You can do tests to check it.

Don’t be changing parts on a whim. You need to diagnose the problems first, otherwise you’ll be wasting money on parts that didn’t need changing.

You can do these checks yourself if you want to save money.

Have a look on YouTube for testing for a bad head gasket & how to do a leak off injector test.
