Morning all ! I bought the car 6 months ago. And I wondering what's this rattle from? The rattle noise is coming from chain area. Is it tensioner or worn out chain itself? The mileage is 145000. Engine running fine. No problem to start. Power is good. Any help appreciated! IMG_4559.MOV

Hi all! Just wondering if anyone tried to play with turbo - manual boost controler? My previous car was turbocharged Volvo s40 2.0 T petrol! I installed manual boost controler without any other engine upgrades! From stock 8 psi turned up to 18 psi with no problems - it was really quick and mpg 32-35 avg! I'm thinking if that would be possible to do on my Lexus 220d just add few more psi? Any suggestions please welcome!!! Thanks!

Right! Today this morning I disconnected battery for about an hour and guess what-it worked!!!!!! Including all my carried work before+ clean egr! I had a 60 mile trip today at various speeds in town and the way to my work with numerous roundabouts! From 36mpg to 41.6mpg and no smoke at all !!!! I call this a success!!!!! Fingers crossed;) my suggestion what ever you do on car,change something or replace parts or simply do a service - disconnect battery to restart ecu;) overnight ideally.

The other day after I did everything I mentioned above the smoke seems a little bit reduced ! I did the smell test - felt like diesel! Isn't 36mpg a poor mileage? Thinking of head gasket- there is no sign of any fluid mixture! Unless oil or coolant goes straight into the cylinders! But I haven't noticed coolant or oil loss or ruff running engine! Like PEACHY mentioned about fuel! I use shell nitro power from the day I bought the car! It was about 2 months ago. Maybe need to look for some additives to oil or diesel?

So far I am being tried everything I could possibly do! Change oil (millers 5w30 trident long life) all possible filters and in the end clean egr and spray egr cleaner through air intake! All it's left, in my opinion is check dpf and 5th injector! Because I have been driving allot in the town today-start stop,start stop! And every time once I start driving it's puffing out a little bit smoke - blueish white! That's what happens all the time. I'm checking oil and coolant levels all the time, no changes! It doesn't affect the performance and mpg in my opinion (36avg) That smoke comes and goes! It seems burning something excessive like fuel or oil...... I know that isn't normal so I'm willing to find the issue. Any ideas welcome! Thanks guys!

Bought the car 2 months ago, its been like that from a day one. Mileage 140k. 2 weeks ago changed oil and filters except fuel filter. Oil level seems to be same no increase or decrease. It's weird because when I drive it smokes only in the morning. Coming back from work in the same day- nothing, no smoke at all! I'm driving around 60 miles every day! I'm driving with various speeds! Power seems good as well! And it can't be a self regeneration every day! I have been to a local garage and all they said it's nothing serious.... Just to keep driving like that it's so embarrassing, people keep distance from me because of smoke 😜 I really want to find the problem but don't know what to look at...

Hi all !!! I'm just wondering if anyone have a similar problem! The engine start is fine no smoke at all except when it's cold and just steam coming out! When engine gets working temperature blue smoke comes out for a minute or so and after disappear! Drive hard as you want everything is fine no smoke! It's happening every day! Besides engine don't have any oil diesel or coolant leaks! Coolant fluid is nice and pink! Oil level same correct! Average mpg 36! I'm thinking could it be 5th injector or egr???
