I have an 04 plate yaris d4d. its been great little car that has been driven like a grandad on my daily work run (100 miles a day), but over the past few months I have noticed a lot of smoke comming from the exhaust.
The smoke comes when pressure is applied to the throttle. Is this meaning that the turbo has gone or is about to let go. The more pressure added the more smoke arrives.
As I said I drive 100 miles a day and need a reliable car to get to work. The car has had a very easy life and never gets thrashed and I normally only travel at 60mph which is just over 2k rpm. The car has covered 80k miles.
The smoke is a thick white sort of colour but does smell of oil.
There isn't any loss in power and the car is regularly serviced as required. the only problem was during the cold snow at the start of last month I ran out of diesel and the car cut out (showed up the engine light on the dash). I then got the failfull gerry can out and re filled the car and drove the car to the garage to fill her properly (I know I should have re filled but working nights and in the back end of beyond no petrol stations were open). I then took the car to the local toyota secialist and he put it on the fault finder machine and it showed fuel starvation. As said the car runs fine just belches smoke.
Any sugestions? If not anyperson need a a smoke machine for a party?
