when I start the engine from cold this happens, but only for 30 seconds
I don’t understand how it can smoke befor any heat in the engine, I think it can be the aircon leaking but is fra from sure, what do you think?
thanks

Open the bonnet next time , you might be able to see which area it comes from , it must be the exhaust leaking surely ..

as above it seems like exhaust worth getting some one to start it while you look

I'm having the same problem with my D5 but not nearly as bad. With my car you can see a tiny tiny amount of smoke when the bonnet is open on cold starts. Is there a common place the D5 exhaust usually leaks near the engine? I have checked with the bonnet open but I can't see exactly where it's coming from.

Sorry for hijacking your tread :)
