I have the same sort of problem, I get Blueish grey smoke every now and again, usually when the car is under load but not always, its not burning oil from what I can tell as she hasn't used a drop from when I last topped her up about 4 months ago (during the service)!! Im just not sure what's causing it, going to try the cleaner and see if it helps!! but ye is very embarrassing in the middle of Aberdeen pumping out smoke!!!

There is no doubt about it. It's the 5th injector that's the problem.

I have a lexus is220d and after a long journey has now started blowing black smoke when I accelerate. Had the air filter done and treatment done to clean the diesel in the tank. Any ideas what this could be and costs involved to fix?

Do bear in mind that diesel's do smoke under acceleration to a certain extent.
