Does the smoke smell like burnt oil? It could be either unburnt fuel (the smoke will burn your eyes-if you're willing to subject yourself to that test???), or more likely a worn engine allowing it to burn oil.

At the start the color of the smoke is grey dark after 20s blue white and yes smoke burns the eyes.Look Tony i'm newbie and i dont know how to proceed. i heard there is 2 filter fuel i seen only one at the pump injection brand "japanparts".There is another detail that i want to tell you the engine takes a long time to heat up "with the starter" and difficulty in moving at the beginning as if the fuel did not burn or arrive in time. thanks Tony for responding me.

From factory 4.2 (TD42) diesel has one fuel filter but two oil filters.
What you are describing sounds like faulty glow plugs and more than likely a fuel delivery fault, either injectors or pump. I would be taken the car to a diesel specialist.

Das ist der Weird. My (Russian spec) Y60/GQ came with two fuel filters.

Hope all goes OK, Ikril.

check out www.dieselsmoke.com.au A lot of useful information there.

Hi ikril, I think I would firstly get a compression check of the engine, the vehicle being new to you It could be worn or have water ingress damage causing low compression.
Good luck Macca :blowup:
