Blowing smoke out the back at 9000k

[Transporter]

Hi fellas
I 've noticed, particualry at night, that when I am in traffic and put my foot down the rear is obscured by a bellowing cloud of smoke (for want of a better term) coming, presumably, from my exhaust. is this just part of the high oil use I experience (1 L every 1500km or so) , or something different?

It is a little disconcerting. Might be time to trade for another vehicle I think. Besides I'm missing the torque of a diesel in Syney's traffic...

Thanks
Andrew

I get that too in my 2005 T5 PDTDI.
At night and against the headlights behind you it's when you will notice it the most even if you wouldn't have a problems with the oil usage, most likely it's that oil in the exhaust fumes that you see.

Was tinkering around in Manual Mode in stop start traffic on the Eastern, managed to replicate the HUGE smoke cloud!

Must've scared the tailgater behind me, left a lazy 1km gap after haha!

As others have said, fuel dump

Excuse my ignorance, but what is "fuel dump"?
