While driving at approximately 4,000 RPMs there is a lot of white smoke and very noisy?

On motorway about 4,000 RPM's started with white smoke and very noisy then revved right up and filled motorway with smoke. Pulled onto hard shoulder turned off by key then started it 30 minutes later with little smoke.

More than likely, you have a head gasket issue.

We don't have specific info on this vehicle as it is not offered in the USA but here is a guide that will help either confirm this or allow us to cross it off the list.

The reason it was not smoking as much was more than likely the engine cooled down and the warp in the head was decreased so it smoked less.

However, we need to do this test and go from there.
