Sprinter 311 Smoke in traffic

[Thunderbolt]

This week I have noticed that my 03 311 sprinter has started to produce alot of grey/white smoke when i get stuck in traffic jams.

On startup it is clean as a whistle.
Once it gets warmed up and I end up in a traffic jam, it produces a cloud every time I pull away.

It had a one spanner service about 5K ago, two spanner service due in 14800m.
Total mileage is 102800.

Any help?

These are prone to injectors, the fuel would produce this smoke. 02 and 52 were the worst IIRC (mines a 52 and up to now no problems...... well not injectors ones anyway, plenty of others).

Thanks Cnics,

Annoyingly it didn't do it at all on the way home last night, or this morning.

When I parked this morning, (I always back into spaces), I let it idle, then gave it a boot and there was no smoke

I'm going to try some injector cleaner, before pricing up injectors.
