3. Examine the Distributor and Rotor: Ensure the distributor and rotor are in good condition. Replace any components that show signs of wear or corrosion.

White smoke from the exhaust or engine bay under heavy driving conditions can indicate several issues. Here’s how to diagnose and resolve it:

1. Inspect the Exhaust Manifold: Check for any signs of oil leakage around the exhaust manifold. A leak can cause white smoke. Tighten or replace the manifold if needed.
2. Check Head Bolts: Ensure that the head bolts are properly tightened. Loose bolts can lead to oil leakage and white smoke. Tighten them to the manufacturer’s specifications.
3. Examine Turbocharger: A whistle-like sound during turbo boost is normal, but excessive noise may indicate issues with the turbocharger. Inspect the turbocharger for any signs of damage or wear.
4. Check for Oil Leaks: Inspect the engine for oil leaks, particularly around seals and gaskets, which may contribute to the white smoke.

Our manual provides comprehensive steps for diagnosing and fixing issues related to white smoke, ensuring your Peugeot remains in top condition.

To optimize boost control and improve performance, follow these steps:

1. Install a Manual Boost Controller (MBC): A manual boost controller allows you to fine-tune boost pressure. Install the MBC according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Adjust Boost Pressure: Set the MBC to your desired boost pressure level. Make small adjustments and test drive the vehicle to ensure optimal performance.
3. Upgrade Components for Higher Boost: For higher boost levels, consider upgrading to a 3" downpipe and new injectors. These upgrades will support higher boost pressures and improve performance.
4. Monitor Boost Levels: Regularly check and adjust boost levels to ensure they remain within safe limits to prevent engine damage.
