Hi there. Need help. My Renault 1.9 dci is smoking heavy white smoke and do not want to ref up. What can be the problem?

Could be head gasket or turbo gone.

Take the oil cap off and see if there's a white residue inside the cap, this indicates that water has got mixed with the oil - head gasket gone.

Hi,
look for coolant level dropping or bubbles in coolant tank.
If that seems normal, it's most likely injector problem. You need to do a leak off test to find which one.
When you do find it, please let us know.
Good luck
Bob.
