Hi the smoke is left front door sill any ideas what it can be thanks

Remember that an X5 (E53) diesel has an on-board Webasto engine pre-heater (diesel powered) that naturally has a small exhaust system. The exhaust itself exits under the sill (rocker panel) near the front left door. I've seen other colleagues get REALLY worried in winter / cold until they are reminded of this.

Gregory,the OP also has been posting on xdrivers uk with the same thread and more..Think he is having us on as here he says its WHITE smoke!

As you can see OP is giving a lot of feedback in the other forum ,yet here ,he
doesnt and everything is contradictive and he has all the answers he needs ,
Not wasting my time anymore!

To clear up some mis understandering i aint posted on no other forums! The above links you sent are not mine dont assume

Apologise if I mistaken you for someone else!Maybe I been answering too many threads on this smoke issue and already given all the possible answers!

When you do open a thread with a problem .as in your case ,its always useful to state the model year and engine and mileage and servicing history of your car,none of which you provided!
Going on topic again,you do have all the answers here ,too!Check quicksilver link and especially Gregorys last post,which suggests its the webasto heater,which seems to be the case as your previous post says its from front passenger side of the car ,where you do have a mini exhaust,for the webasto heater!
Good luck:thumbup:
