Hello all
My sister has an old Q7 2009 3.0 TDI that releases too much smoke when on hill and usually goes into limp mode because every effort on gas drives slowly.
Also, the dpf and catalytic converter has been removed. It losses huge water frequently and even at time when idling.Mostly we see water dripping from underneath the front passenger side just under the expansion Tank.
Q1. Is it because of the dpf that there is huge amount of white smoke when climbing hills and also continues thin strip of smoke when idlin?
Q2. What mainly responsible for water dripping and the overheating alert?

Note tested in summer.
I don't see to be able to attach video.
