Not much to vorry about.
You will notice it more at the night when you look at the rear view mirror while the car drives behind the headlights make the smoke more visible then.

and yes the smoke is annoying as hell, thanks so much for the advices! donoe where i'd be if it wasnt for this forum

Sometimes oil that accumulate in the intake and the intercooler adds to the blue smoke. Clean the intake and install the Provent200.

The new common rail diesels have next to no smoke and barely any smell. Very clean engines.

Only if fitted with a particulate filter.

yeah but honestly, you can have issues that cause excessive smoke, its not just hte engine type either. PD engines are also very clean, when maintained well and run on good fuel.

OP - do as transporter has suggested - get some additive and use as directed. Also, run the car to at least 1/4 tank and re-fill it with diesel from a busy servo, with caltex vortex premium diesel or BP diesel.

How many km on the car? If it has had the timing belt changed, its possible the timing is not optimal. Retarded timing for the cam will cause excessive smoke and lack of torque at lower rpm.

Get the workshop you had scan the car to log manifold boost in 3rd or 4th gear from 1500-3500rpm. You should see at least 1 bar between these rpm, consistently. Low boost will cause extra soot.

try all these things before you start paying for random replacements of emission system parts.

Also, its incredibly unlikely you'll have a headgasket problem.

Sorry I was using my phone to reply lol. *fat fingers*
Anyway I changed the oil of the car because I thought I was using the wrong
Ones, what I was using before was penrite 0-30w enviro+ and the new engine oil I'm.using now is liqui-moly 5-30w 4200. Everything runs fine now. I also bought the fuel additive but yet to put it in because I wanted to see what happens when I changed the oil.
