my transit van is smoking when im going up and down gears what would cause this?

Answer 1

Hi

It would really help if you could give us a bit more information, such as colour of smoke, fuel type, turbo, mileage, etc

My guess would be you have a turbo diesel and the smoke is black or blue turbo smoke, but the requested info would be a great help.

Cheers
