Hi everyone, new here. I have a Xsara Picasso 1.6 hdi 110hp 2008, and it has been getting worse. It started coming up Check Diesel Filter which I took as the FAP blocked, so used dpf cleaning solution in fuel tank to try and unblock. This seemed to work for a couple of weeks, then it would come up engine fault and stop with a lot of white smoke and a very loud tappety noise from engine. It would turn over after this but not fire up. Coming up low fuel pressure on a code reader. After an hour or so will fire back up. No white smoke after this until next time it dies. Fuel filter has been changed.
Thanks in advance.
Martin.

does the smoke have a strong smell of diesel as if does you would notice which would indicate its running rich have you plugged it in you need codes or at least a description of faults logged in the ecu as this points to what may be the issue.you may have a leaking or incorrect spray pattern causing too much diesel to be injected into the engine.
you really need to plug it in
