The Omega does produce alot of vapour, what engine is yours and what colour is the smoke?

[ians]

Are you losing any fluids -  oil, coolant..?

Does it smell?

[hp7166]

Not losing any liquids, Its Black Smoke from the exhaust

[Elite Pete]

Petrol or diesel?

[feeutfo]

diesel normalish
Petrol something wrong. What engine do you have? Fill in your profile too. It helps people to help you.

may be something simple as fuel and air filter , when was last serice?

[sneakypenguin]

as above really, I'm a bus driver and the turbo went on my bus and the amount of black smoke that came out of the exhaust was unreal. Suggest you get your turbo pressure checked, just in case

Tractors do smoke a bit.  Supermarket fuels seem to make it worse.

Give it a full and proper service, so you have it in a known condition, and go from there.
