General Engine smoking now and again 1.3 multijet ???

[maxthedoggy]

Just over 100k on a 12 plate, I've noticed this now and again, it will smoke quite bad then just seem to stop smoking, engine sounds ok with no nasty noises etc, are these engines known for any particular issues like this ?. Engine oil level is fine, not overfull etc.
I've done a search on here but nothing came up, , any info would be great guys, cheers

If your car has a DPF this is almost certainly normal regeneration and nothing to worry about. As maxthedoggy says, occasional use of an additive can help. I use Millers Diesel ecomax every 2nd or 3rd tank .

Thanks for that buddy, that's a load off my mind. I thought it couldn't be too serious because it only does it know and again.

Thanks once more
