hose delaminating internally,check all the air flow hoses.

Drummer87 · Dec 20, 2014

Three of the hoses had been replaced with silicone hoses recently, the two running off the turbo and from the intercooler to inlet manifold

ok,but still worth checking them all,won't harm and it will rule them out.

And by checking your meaning physical taking them off and having a look inside

yes mate,what about the air intake hose to the air filter,if that has failed,you will not be getting any air into the engine,that will give you lots of smoke/non running etc.happened on a LDV van i drove.

have you changed/checked the air cleaner lately?

Split vac hose to actuator?

Drummer87 · Dec 20, 2014

I haven't looked at the air box today, early got parked up and is now struggling to fire up. Saying that it cranks and just doesn't want to fire.

Stupid question time where is the actuator located

notenoughtime · Dec 20, 2014

On turbo

how long since fuel filter changed?

Drummer87 · Dec 20, 2014

This year the fuel filter had been done and I believe pump also. Let me find out

If more than a couple of months ago,it would not hurt to put a new one on,in case you have bought some **** fuel.
Presumably you can hear your fuel pump running when you switch ignition on.
Your original post sounds like fuel starvation to me despite the black smoke.

Guess maybe injector issue with harness, I did fill right up today so maybe dodgy full

biolandy · Dec 20, 2014

Full to brim should not be issue,was it your regular filling station

Drummer87 · Dec 20, 2014

Yeah regular station I've been using. Filled right up to first click. Can hear pump also. Just going out and tried car again after levelling and now firing again so intermittent fault

Sent you a text.

Air filter sucked up into MAF! Look there

Drummer87 · Dec 20, 2014

Ok will check the air filter in the morning once in a better state. Is that a common issue at times it just gets sucked up there and guess is blocking the flow, hence at times not firing right?? Anything is worth a try

sierrafery · Dec 21, 2014

you should plug in a tester cos that symptom can have many causes and any fault code or lack of it can point you to the right direction, a fault code would tell you where to look and no code means it's fuel supply issue as it's not covered by diagnostics...that's the easy way IMO

cambridgecockney · Dec 21, 2014

Sounds just like mine when wife put petrol in.went for about 20 miles and died.you sure you dieseled.

Drummer87 · Dec 21, 2014

Certain it's got diesel; driven 160 miles in total yesterday. Guess it would of conked out sooner.

I checked the ecu for the red plug also, that's dry no oil, wonder if my harness is playing up and miss firing.

Hopefully get it sorted one way today
