Santa FE 2.0td - Santa FE Diesel smoke.. - mgf123
Hi my old santa fe td - 130k miles so quite new really - has some smokey issues - under any sort of load or aceleration and to some degree on tick over - its rather smokey .. not black more grey - not blue or white ... its not using oil or water and has been desooted with cleaner - starts on the button no problems, tick over nice and smooth , and does run ok apart from the smog out the back....doen the usual filters and oil - and a good dose of cleanner but not shifted it... thinking the injectors would be ok otherwise i would not start so easily, SO i am thinking EGR, TURBO or CAT ..Any thoughts out there!

i had a tdci mondeo which had similar symptoms and i pulled the vacuum pipe off the egr valve this cured it straight away and gave it more power so you could give that a bash bud
