So it seems my car wishes to be a drama queen this month and along the list of issues a serious one popped out ..
Ive got heavy gray/white smoke coming out of the exhaust , like a cloud .. started two days ago on start up some white smoke came out and then it was gone , but this morning once i started the car it felt like the engine wanted to turn off again after it started and there was that big white cloud at the exhaust , i thought it was going to fade in a couple of seconds but nope .. kept blowing white smoke , even as i started driving things got even worse if i hit the gas ..
so lots of things came to mind , Turbo , injectors , Intake .. and finally i recalled that i added new Engine oil recently ..
i also scanned the Ecu and got the following error
P0275 5 Cyl balance mal
im thinking perhaps i added too much oil or perhaps the oil was flawed .. though it meets the MB 229.31 standard its the first time i use the Castrol Magnatec 10w40 on my car ..
Turbo is a year old so i find it hard to accuse it ..
Injectors on the other hand are 11 years old and never had any issues so perhaps its time ..
another thing worth mentioning is that after checking again it seems alot of engine oil is missing again and needs refilling even though it hasnt even been a week since i topped it
i havent noticed any serious drop in performance when it comes to acceleration and such , but my brother did mention that the engine sounds different as if theres some knocking sound ..
(The engine is a 2.7 liter turbocharged Diesel )
