Second time was last week, was jump starting a diesel ZT and at idle same thing, just started smoking, lasted 5 minutes and then stopped.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Strange that it is only on these two occasions.

When I had my old 75 it used to do this when it was really cold outside. Had 2 injectors reading around 7-8mm3 on the T4. Swapped them and it sorted the issue. So you may have 1 or 2 injectors out of spec potentially.
