Well if it has a turbo it's a new one.

Take it to the dealership and let them figure it out because it should be under warranty.

I guess Honda petrol CRVs got their first turbos in 2017, which I didn't know, so I would hope his CRV is still covered under warrant.
If it is a diesel, things may be different.

PS: Putting in the yr, model, drive, mileage etc is still good advice for all posters, even if it is only in their Profiles., just saying.
PPS: What yr did Honda start using turbos in their diesels?

You might try posting your problem in the Diesel section of this forum. I believe it is labeled Diesel CR-V.

Sounds to me like the turbo's seals failed (very rare), and the engine rain on its oil.
What color was the smoke? How did you get it to stop?

 

[Davidgeld88]

Yeah thats what i think the smoke was white I think but no 100% as was a bit shaken up at the time as i had the kids in the car with me i stalled the car too stop it but i was doing 50mph at the time so had to slow right down I imagine it was reving high like this for 20-30 seconds

 

[rocky]

Yup that's classic turbo seal failure for a diesel. Good job stalling it. Not everyone saves the engine that way.
Don't drive it. It's going to need a new or remanufactured turbo. Check oil level before you tow it away.

 

[Davidgeld88]

Theres oil in it I've checked but seems to have more in than usual any reason for that?

 

[BDub]

I'm not too up on electronic fuel injection on the newer diesels. I would agree that it sounds like a turbo seal. But given the fact that it seems that the sump is overfilled now, I think I would check the injectors. One of them may have stuck open and started pumping fuel. Just a thought.

 

[Davidgeld88]

Thabks the garage is picking it up today to check that would make sense as the code on the dash is pgm-fi which is something to do with the fuel injection system I believe

Got me. You'll be wise to get an oil change anyway.

 

[BDub]

Fill us in on what they find. We be curious.

 

[Davidgeld88]

I will it will probably be tommorow thanks for your help guys

 

[Davidgeld88]

So update guys the car blew 2 fuel injector tips clean off and put loads of diesel in the engine the garage seem very hopefull with new ones and a good clean out all will be fine I'll know more middle of next week and will post then thanks for all your comments and help much appreciated

 

[AHCAR]

Don't forget to tell us the bill!!

 

[Davidgeld88]

Hi guys another update so the 2 injectors that seemed ok were sent of too be tested and came back as contaminated with petrol so basically whoever had it before I purchased has driven the car with petrol this causes the tip to go brittle and break which is whats happened to me! I'm well pissed off as for 4 new injectors oil filter labour etc it's costing me £1700 to repair! So basically it's the an issue or fault with the car it was someone's stupidity it the past thanks for all your help much appreciated
