I have also spent the past year worried sick about your smoky engine battery change issue. Thanks for the update | |

The vac controller is part of the inlet manifold so you can’t swap just that part. I mainly wanted to update in case anyone else has a similar issue and ends up here. | |

Update on this, from ages ago! Problem persisted and I also suffered from a hesitation on light acceleration too. Anyway, I had issues with the VAC controller which was replaced along with the inlet manifold and it cured the hesitation. The smoking remained anyway, mainly if I drove the car to its running temp then turned off the engine and started it an hour later. When at temp it was clean as a whistle. So now I’ve had the fuel filter changed and the DPF (which was 96% blocked) terracleaned. The DPF was blocked because of a faulty EGR valve which inhibits the DPF from regenning. Anyway, problems solved for now and the DPF has automatically regenned which it didn’t do before. Watch this space :lol: got its MOT next month, if problem persists, the injectors will be coming out and go away for testing, then that’s the whole inlet side investigated! | |

Complete guesswork but yes, does sound like it need to get its act together after losing the memory. | |

Id assume the ecu lost its data and had to recalibrate | |

Why did you charge a battery for 20 minutes? It will receive more charge from the alternator running for 30 seconds. | |

Here’s a weird one for you, I’m new to modern diesels so could be quite normal. |
