Hi All My 2.5 CRD is pumping out clouds of light blue smoke on start up, this happens on both cold and hot starts but does eventually clear after a couple of embarrassing miles. I suspect oil is somehow getting into the exhaust while running or on shut down, then being burnt when I fire up again. Just wondered if anyone may have had a similar problem or possibly point me in the right direction to find what is wrong. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Phil |

mine does it on cold start up for a about 20 seconds. Real light blue/white smoke. The only time I get a long trail of blueish smoke is if I have long idle times when hot (25 min plus). Im suspecting a turbo seal is going. Haven't got to dig into it yet. I don't see any oil consumption tho. But it will clear after about 2-3 blocks |

Burning a small amount of oil at startup. Start by cleaning your injectors with a quality diesel solvent added to the fuel and directly into the fuel filter, it could be an easy thing like a dirty injector or upper cylinders needing some cleaning. |

Hi thank you for your advice, on reading several other posts on here I was starting to suspect a dodgy injector. I'm off to buy some injector cleaner now, thanks again for the help and advice, very much appreciated. Phil |
