Check the oil and water first thing. But it does look good if there's blue smoke . there maybe some damage to the engine.

What kinda damage u think it can be? As far as I know the mechanic checked everything but the problem can't be solved

Blue smoke from the exhaust is a sign of oil burning.

" But it does look good if there's blue smoke " ??????

Sounds like you have a problem with the DPF regenerating .Might be better to get a second opinion if your " mechanic " is not able to diagnose this fault .

I meant doesn't look good.

You may be better going to a diesel specialist in your area for checking and suggested remedies / cost .

I took it. They checked the injectors. 1 was faulty I changed it.
But it still is smoking

Has the DPF regenerating cycle been completed ?
Posted Jan 13, 2017 (7 years ago)
It may take a belt down the motorway to clear it IF problem fixed .

No. Every time it we put it on regeneration it says
( Programming has been aborted by the user request )
