Hello - I'm new to this and to diesel!
I have a well maintained mondeo - serviced and low mileage for year - I also have an excellent and trustworthy mechanic - and we're stumped by the car's behaviour.
Occasionally on start up (hot or cold) the 'engine' clatters and revs extremely high (into red) even after I've switched the ignition off. White smoke pours out (so much that there is no visibility around the car for a while and it usually causes quite a stir if there are onlookers!)
I can, however start up again and all seems well (no clatter or revs) and off I go - sometimes white smoke pours out for a few miles (annoying other motorists) and sometimes it clears quite quickly.
There are periods where the car behaves beautifully and other times it will have the above tantrum in a 'cluster'
Filters, pump, injectors, timing and turbo all appear OK
Oil has been changed and not over filled
Accelerator 'arm' has been fixed (sticking a little)
HELP!! Any ideas welcome.
PS This morning white smoke poured out profusely - so much I couldn't use it - very smelly also - but no high revving - a conundrum...
