Recently bought 2014 1.6tdi caddy
Changed coolant temp sensor as fan was cutting in as soon as engine turned on.
Topped up coolant as was low before.
Left running for an hour to see would temperature gauge slowly rise as van gets warmer (about 30 degree now). Van has a bad smell coming out of exhaust, and can smell from a short distance. Took van for a short spin down the road, and on way back white-ish smoke out of exhaust (it was dark so hard to see exactly), temp gauge went up to 90 degree. Turned off van as afraid i was doing harm?
Anyone shed any light on this issue, fingers crossed its not bad
