    Sorry, cannot really help from over here in U.S.

    However, something that might help narrow down the problem a bit to give you a general idea of what might be wrong is the color of the smoke:

    White = coolant or water
    Blueish smoke = oil
    Gray or Black = fuel problem

    Maybe this at least gives you a starting point. Good luck.
