Just had a new head fitted to the 300tdi, after finding the last one had a crack in it....Now got it back and she seems to br blowing more grey/white smoke when cold and on tick over...was'nt doing it on tick over before.but the grey stuff was showing bad before (reason i had the head done)......i've also got a slight vibration between 30-50 mph (they did do the prop uj i asked)..(could always be i've another one gone :doh:)....But the main worry is the grey/white smoke.......any ideas gang.....ADA...she runs worse than before she went in

iomlr:
take it back and if they say nothing is wrong get a second option from someone else and then go back to the garage if there is a fault!

first make sure you have a  invoice / receipt which is warranted!

Guardian.:
its not the weather is it, as ive noticed new v8 in the 110 smokes / steams like a very smokey thing when cold the last week, but clears when its hot.

adafish:
weather..no idea, don't see many other diesels emmitting the same sort of stuff...Also today. check the water and seemed to have lost a bit :-o...and the vibes....had a look underneath and the prop bolts were'nt tight (hopefully thats cured that)...will geta second opinion within the next couple of days.. :roll:

extreme90:
have you done a sniff test on the smoke yet ?
is it more grey, or more white ?
run it for abit to see if it settles down
monitor how much water its using though

was it a brand new head or 2nd hand/recon ?
could be that thay aint torqued the head down properly  :?
