Galloper check engine light and smoke

Check engine light and smoke on my 2001 gasoline Galloper. Engine power is also reduced. Could it be the crankcase ventilation valve?

I own a Galloper too, and I remember having similar symptoms once. Especially the smoke... Was quite scary to be honest. Is it at idle too?

Yes, the smoke is more pronounced at idle, and seems to worsen with acceleration. Did replacing the ventilation valve solve the issue for you, or was there something else involved?

Yes, the ventilation valve was the culprit! But the system is super sensitive, I wouldn't risk doing anything myself, the emissions could get way worse. I went to the workshop straight away.

I appreciate your advice, it's incredibly helpful. I'll schedule an appointment with a trusted mechanic to have the crankcase ventilation valve inspected and replaced. The estimated repair cost is around 360€, hopefully that will solve it.
