Default Mk3 2.0 tddi Mondeo issues

In the torrential rain last Thursday my wife had to drive thru massive flood. The car the broke down but started again. But when ever I start it white smoke plumes out the back, when I dip the clutch it vibrates and when idling the judders quite badly. Someone says the Conrod might be bent but not sure! Help cheers

As said you need a compression test kit! More than likely bent a con rod though with those symptoms.
