Hey there, I'm sorry to here about your engine woes, Being a diesel fitter myself I am amazed at the level of responses you got. Although some of these people you have giving you advice are unqualified the recomendations you got were just as good, If not better than what you would get at any mechanics shop. Good on you all, It just goes to show you don't have to spend a heap on repairs. Just a little time.

Hey Brendo82.
It's good to know that there's some knowledgeable people cruising the forums and casting their eye's over whats being said. I seriously don't mind being cut down as I might frakking learn something as well. Seems Giftsmas has gone quiet. I'm kind of interested in what his problems were. Sounds like his Prado had been thrashed to say the least.
Here's hoping he got it going....[b]#[/b] 2007 D4D GX [b]#[/b] Full Privacy Tint [b]#[/b] [color=#FF0000][b] Flinders Red [/b][/color] [b]#[/b] 2 x HID LightForce 240 Blitz [b]#[/b] ARB Winch Bar [b]#[/b] Alloy Rims [b]#[/b] Hilux Washer Jets [b]#[/b] Stebel Nautilus Compact Truck Horn [b]#[/b] ARB Alloy Roof Rack [b]#[/b] ARB Dual Battery System [b]#[/b] Charcoal Rough Country Canvas Seat Covers [b]#[/b] [color=#0000FF]Suspension:[/color]Autocraft Bilstein Shocks/Struts & Ridepro Coils [b]#[/b] [color=#0000FF]L.E.D[/color] Side Marker Lights [b]#[/b] ARB Onboard Air [b]#[/b] Pirelli Scorpion LT ATR 265/70's [b]#[/b][color=#0080FF]--Custom 3"exhaust---[/color]Comment

Re:
Hi M, on start up (cold engine only) my 3.0 VX produces a cloud of white smoke and very soon after starting no smoke at all. Could there be a serious problem? If it is glow plugs not performing as they are supposed to, is it a serious problem or would it be OK to just allow the glow plugs to heat up a bit more? What other causes could there be?Originally posted by m999999

Re: White smoke. Please help
Just noticed today for the first time- when I tapped off a bit and then accelerated, a puff of white smoke was produced. Itried doing it again but no further smoke...
Injectors?Comment

Re: White smoke. Please help
I had a Hilux 3.0 diesal (non turbo) that the fuel froze in overnight a few years back. It blew a heap of white smoke just before it stopped. After thawing for a couple of hours it was fine. Changed the fuel filter when i got home though.Comment

Re: White smoke. Please help
White smoke usually occurs when there is not enough heat to burn the fuel. The unburned fuel particles go out the tailpipe and typically produce a rich fuel smell. It's not unusual to see white smoke in the exhaust during cold weather until the engine warms up.on start up (cold engine only) my 3.0 VX produces a cloud of white smoke and very soon after starting no smoke at all.

Faulty glow plugs or control module can cause white smoke on engine start up.
Low engine cranking speed may also produce white smoke.
If white smoke is still visible after the engine has warmed up, the engine may have one or more bad injectors, retarded injection timing or a worn injection pump.
Low compression or air in the fuel system can also be a source of white smoke.
