Hi, I have an Octavia Scout, 58 plate, and frequently on starting, it issues quite a lot of white smoke from the exhaust.  I've searched through this forum and it appears that this might be the DPF cleaning cycle.  However, it does seem rather frequent for that.

I used to have a persistent slight misfire around 2000 revs, but since I cleaned the EGR valve, it has almost gone away. I am not sure if the two are related.

 

Does anyone have any advice?

 

Cheers

White smoke is incomplete combustion of diesel. On start up it can be an injector issue.

Even if it is only once every three or four days?

At a guess, build up of unburnt diesel in a cylinder when stood from a leaky injector. But only a guess...

Thanks, I shall investigate the cost of getting the injectors checked.
