Mine smoked on hard acelleration until I did the orm, lift pump helped also..

Just keep telling yourself you're driving the batmobile and that's your smokescreen

I love smoke!
When some a*sHolio gets on my behind I give 'er a "Little Respect."
Cold fuel pumped into the engine.
Too bad I don't get hardly any more smoke.
Not sure what happened, but it sure runs good, go figure.

Does the CRD come with a particulate filter installed, if not you could add one.

You can't just bolt one on like a muffler, you will need piezoelectric injectors or an injector to spray some extra fuel into it when it clogs up to burn off the particulates along with an array of other controls, basically the Blue Tech system. What we do have is a catalyst that also acts as a soot trap. All you need to do is take your CRD on a road trip that heats it up and it works as designed.

I too used to think that a long trip was required to "unplug" the cat but when I reamed mine own cat out it had no signs of soot and I noticed that there is no way that soot could get trapped in the large honeycomb passages, so I came to the conclusion that a long hot run is not really needed. Shoot an IR thermometer at it after a five minute drive. You will see temps that allow no soot buildup.

I wonder how much of the perceived smoke problem could be related to oil in the intercooler or CAC tubes? If even a couple of large drops of oil get sucked into the engine, it could produce visible smoke. The only time when I can get any "puff" of smoke is after extended easy driving. It is either the oil from the CCV or soot being blown out of my exhaust.
