isn't white smoke from oil, but then it would smoke when floored if piston rings were shot........., does it use much oil?

With my little knowledge of diesels I would have to ask if you have had the map tweaked since dpf removal.

Also removal of dpf will now lead to a mot failure with the latest regulations.

blue smoke is oil and white smoke is normally a sign of burning coolant
