Dealer using Test Book identified that connectors on the back of the engine are causing this problem. Spent 1 day getting to the connectors and rectified the fault. The Engine has an oil drain vent which was dumping oil into the exhaust as a result of the ECU getting incorrect data. This was the service centres notes in the fault report.

I have experienced the same problem on two occations in the past three weeks, both time standing at a red light, and suddenly the car disapears in a cloud of white smoke, immediatly after pulling off the smoke clears and there is no affect on performance.
