Hi halgurd, welcome to TOC 

How many miles/Kms on it? It could just be water vapour or it could be the DPF regenerating - possibly that is coming to the end of it's life?

at 180,000km it could well be that the DPF is full.

but the DPF light is not on . is this normal ? 

[Heidfirst]

does it have a DPF light? I never had a T180 but I am not aware of the Avensis having  a DPF light (& I had 2 2.2 D4Ds, 1 without DPF & 1 with DPF).

The t180 doesn’t have a dpf light it will just keep trying to regenerate it’s been a on going problem with mine turns out some one has gutted it

In which case you may have problems come MOT time, especially when the more stringent testing comes into being from May 2018.

Yeh I know tell me about it all this has stemmed from my turbo passing oil through the hot side.

The previous owner obviously had a smoke issue but decided to gut the dpf instead of replacing the turbo and didn’t get the dpf mapped out.

I’ve got the injector disconnected at the moment to stop the fuel just being chucked out of the tail pipe which has now come up with the p2002 code which I’m not to bothered about at the moment.

I’ve done this until I can decide what my next move is weather to replace the dpf or get it mapped like my garage said or do something else.

Don't think mapping out will help as the MOT changes from May include more stringent requirements for missing dpf's and smoke. Eg https://www.whatcar.com/news/mot-test-changes-in-2018/

Little update on this. Saturday something major happened which has led to the following events. Went out for a drive got about a mile down the road a loud pop then a extremely loud howling started and the car went into limp mode.

Pulled over and had a look at the boost pipes thinking one had come off. Couldn’t see anything obvious so pulled the vacuum pipe on the turbo actuator the howling stopped so turned round and drove back home.

Called the rac they came out sorry mate turbo has gone wrong. It was only re cored on the 8th February anyway Car gets recovered to the garage that done the work this morning and it’s booked in for Monday for the turbo but I ordered a new dpf as well so they can fit that whilst the car is apart.
