Thanks again Jimbov8 I will do that

Than you for your prompt reply, I will get on it asap.

Thank you for your reply, greatly appreciated.

No I don't have one, but I know someone who does, I will ask him to do a check. When I have the fault codes how do I translate them?

Should have said, my car is a Jaguar XF 2.2 premium Luxury D. Auto 2013.

Hi Folks, can anyone help with an electrical problem? when I switch the heated rear window on or the front de-mister my radio goes off, when I turn the switches off the radio comes back on. I haven't a clue where to start looking for this fault. I am hoping one of you guys have had similar and can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Brent.

Welcome to the group Brent.

I was always of the understanding that:

Black Smoke = Fuel Issues

White smoke = water issues

Blue smoke = oil issues.

I guess the garage sorting out the loose collar may have helped the blue smoke, but still seems a very strange place to see blue smoke appear from. Blue smoke and a smell of diesel is quite concerning. Didi you take the car to a dealer or a local garage?

 

Thanks for your reply and apologies for my late one (not been very well, but on the mend now). It would appear that fixing the collar has cured the problem, no more smoke and no more smell. I took it to my local garage who I have used for years, they are very capable and trustworthy. Again thanks for your reply.

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to your forum and I hope someone can help me. I am getting blue smoke coming from under the bonnet, it appears to be coming from low down on the left hand side of the engine where the turbo is located, I took it to a local garage where the put the car on a ramp and spotted a loose collar? part of the turbo, they tightened it and this appeared to cure the problem, however a week later the problem has resurfaced with a strong smell of hot diesel. Has anyone else had this problem or has anyone got any ideas to resolve it. Hoping someone can help. Thanks.
