Hi, is the white smoke at start up? If the white smoke is present it means that the diesel is not burning properly and you may have issues with the glow plugs. Does it runs fine when engine is hot?
Has the pump and the injectors been checked and recalibrated?
Is the air cleaner element ok?
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers
