    If the engine is in gud nick , have your turbo checked out ..! highly possible that the turbo has given up ..

    How many kms has your car done?

    Any indication of the colour of smoke? Smell? It might help to know if it's oil or fuel.

    Does it consume oil?

    When was the last time that you had your injectors replaced / calibrated (if possible)? It might be possible one or more of your injectors is acting up, causing the smoking and vibration you're experiencing.

    Regards,

    what i can suggest get your rige examined from some good pit shop and get it in your hand change and replace all the small things like all the filters oil and full.
    do the setting of ingectors I mean bring the car in your hand and maintain the log thats I used to do when ever I buy a used car.
