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 ..

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
