Hi everyone. Unfortunately I have a 2008 Citroen Relay, which uses the 2.2 Ford Transit/Mondeo engine. It is very poorly at the minute, and I was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction.

When you first start it, it misfires like hell, and bellows white/light grey smoke (which has a tinge of blue to it), when I say bellows, I mean fills the street. Once warm, the misfire disappears BUT the smoking continues, sometimes it will disappear for a mile, but then return. It only smokes when you rev it today, although yesterday it was smoking no matter what.

So far, I think I can rule out the turbo, as when I disconnected the intercooler pipes, no smoke came through them and the van continued to smoke from the exhaust as normal. Also, the van doesn't appear to be using any water.

No fault codes.

There is a massive oil leak, that is dripping onto my alternator (battery light is on, although voltage is 14.2 at idle)

I feel this leaves me with 3 or 4 options, and i'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.

1- Could it be a duff injector/s overfueling? but then why the blueish tinge? The Ohms reading accross the injectors are the same, However, upon unplugging the No3 Injector (whilst the van is still misfiring) the engine tone remains unchanged. When the engines idle returns to normal (once warm) unplugging said injector makes no diference.

2- Valve seals?

3- Could the rings be drawing oil in?

4- No other symptoms of HGF, the heaters are warm, no coolant loss.

I appreciate its just guesswork for you lot, but hopefully the symptoms may correspond to something somebody else has had problems with.

The injector leak off pipes are leaking, but doubt this is causing it.

Cheers.
