Never mind, it just needed to burn of manufactoring oil and excess fuel in the exhaust, after 25 minuttes of running the smoking stopped. 
Eberspächer heater smokes like hell, and it is a brand new unit!
Hi all,
I am not sure if I am posting this in the right forum, but here goes:
in my Passat I have an Eberspächer D4W-SC unit, the old unit was broken completely, so I have just swapped for a new one I found on Ebay, I was told that the install were simply a matter of removing the hoses, lines and wires and put them on the same locations on the new unit.
I did this yesterday, but when I try to fire up the new unit I get alot of really thick white/grey smoke from the heaters exhaust. My question is, is this normal for a new unit that needs to be "burned in" ? or is it a sign of trouble with my install ?
