Judder then smoke…
Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2021 8:34 pm
Afternoon all,
Come across this forum whilst having a google with a problem I’m having.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
The Qashqai in question is acenta dci 2012 1.5 diesel
Couple months ago or so I noticed the car blowing smoke. Obviously driving I couldn’t really see what colour. This would happen maybe once in a blue moon so I didn’t bother looking into it.
This month it’s happening a lot.
My journey to work is 10 miles, 1 mile to the motorway - 8 miles at sitting at 70mph - then 1 mile at 30.
Once I hit the 6 miles ( it’s the same spot on the motorway everytime ) the car judders & that’s when the smoke starts piling out the back. When I accelerate from a roundabout the smoke still billows out - but sitting idling it’s fine.
My co worker said the smoke was blue yesterday, as he asked me to rev it.
However when I travel home - it’s fine - no smoke & no judder
I have no warning lights - everything on the dash is fine, I’m not using any more diesel then usual.
Passed its MOT last week with no problems so I’m looking for ideas what to look at..?
Love this little car but reluctant to spend an absolute fortune on it.
Again any help / ideas would be great
