Vauxhall Astra exhaust smoke

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Variant: 1.7dti estate
Model Year: 2002

Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights

There is a plume of fog like smoke from the exhaust of my 1.7dti at around 1700rpm it can be quite noticable but soon clears. It happens if hot or cold and in any gear. Wether hard or soft on the gas. Car has covered 97,000 miles. Could it be egr valve?

could be a nimber of things on the diesels valve guides valve stem oil seals all i can say is keep a eye on the oil level if its dropping just keep it topped up as will be a expensive job to have done
