Yeah I guess your right. Never will I buy one again. Not a diesel anyways. To hell with it. Will part ex it or something.

Yeah I must admit I've seen a few is220d's do it. Maybe it's just how the engines are. May just sell it. Just at the mechanics and he can't find anything wrong with it. It's not even losing coolant. Mistook it for the windscreen wash (I'm new to these cars) Says to just drive it and deal with it.

Hi Mike. Thanks for the reply. The smoke does smell. If I'm stable and I have the window open it stinks. Once it's warm it goes. But it's pretty thick and it doesn't just dissappear. It wastes coolant too. So maybe possible head gasket. However I've been told if it was the head gasket it would blow all the time.

Also I read about an entended 7 years warranty on the engine? That would not cover me with 147k miles would it? I have no idea who to take it to! Worried itll cost a fortune

When does the dpf regenerate? Also could it be the fifth injector or any other injector? As I said it's only for like a minute and stop blowing smoke. Just wish I knew what was wrong with it. It runs amazingly though that's what bothers me.

I though that too However if I jump straight on the motorway or carriageway it doesn't blow white smoke. Its mainly local driving and clears after a minute or so. Any one know any good diesel specialist in London or Essex I could take it to? Thanks

Hi guys. Bit of help please. Have a 2009 is220d. 147k miles. For some reason it keep blowing thick white smoke before heating up from the exhaust. For around a minute or two then goes away. However now it won't just do it before heating up but after it heats too. The smoke also smells pretty bad too. It's just recently been fully serviced and also had a new egr valve. Any help much appreciated. Thanks
