Hi - I’m new so be gentle – searched for similar threads to no avail….. Please help I have a 2007 Pathfinder Aventura (25dci), which was serviced at 18000 (way before I bought it…. had it for a few months and ….. turbo went Seems low oil lead to the turbo giving in at the knees!! Just had a 'oem' turbo fitted at 33000miles - mechanic said it will still smoke a bit due to their being some oil in the exhaust (which seems likely) but expected it to clear.... now 541miles extra and still smoking. On the motorway all seems fine and no smoke. Only recently without a long run…. after idle at lights/stop streets on in the drive when hard acceleration is puffs way too much smoke!!! I need to know more from experts before I get taken down the garden path - please help!!!

Hello. To be honest there could be a lot of oil in the exhaust and the cat. This could take a few thousand miles before it stops smoking. I always used to replace the exhaust and cat when they were under warranty due to this. Hope this helps, Mick |
