Auto Psychic :

hi, i'll be happy to help you in anyway i can.

Auto Psychic :

sorry to hear of your misfortune :(

Auto Psychic :

white smoke on a diesel is black smoke taken to the next level.

you have either bad compression or an extremely rich air/fuel mixture.

my recommendation would be to start with a compression test.

Auto Psychic :

good luck
