Boost pipe split most likely, if its got a turbo.  Get under the van and check all the hoses that go to the turbo.  One of them will be split somewhere.  It's probably the big one at the front.  Had the same on my Mondeo a couple of months back.  White smoke when RPM over 1500 with loss of power.

If it doesn't have a turbo, then I don't know.

No turbo I'm afraid

Gonna be hard to know for sure, but unburned fuel sounds better than white steam, which would be coolant and therefore head gasket.

Is yours the 1.6, 1.9 or 2.0?

Mine is the 1.9 so no turbo

My 2006 Dispatch had a slight loss of power. Happened again within minutes then I went onto a crawl on the M5. Stopped on hard shoulder and tried to set off properly which js when I noticed the white smoke coming from the exhaust.

Recovery said it wasn't white steam but white smoke meaning unburnt fuel.

What could this mean?

I'm not flush at the moment as I'm returning to work after a short illness. This is the last thing I need. Just wanted an idea of it would be an expensive fix or not.

Thanks ?

ETA It's the 1.9 no turbo
