Recently come back to the fold and found a nice 2002 TD5 GS with 85k miles and one owner from new, loving it really .. but...
was fine (if damn slow) but after a run on a dual carriageway it started throwing a white smokescreen out when pottering around or at idle when warm. Friends diagnosed a turbo so i fitted a brand new Garrett unit and my smoke dropped to hardly anything or the odd big puff which I put down to the intercooler needing clearing out . Crawling out of the shopping centre two weeks later Ive caused chaos with so much smoke one day I was shrinking in the drivers seat and this morning crawling through traffic it was terrible.
Just read the error codes and I have:
Injector 1 Open Circuit Detected Logged
Can Error Fault Currently active
Injector 1 peak Charge Long Logged
Airflow Circuit Fault Logged High
Aircon Fan Drive open load fault.
Al have cleared fine.
So I will drive around a bit and recheck faults as some could be ancient.
Water levels are fine, temp is fine, not suspecting any coolant/headgasket issues
The car seems sluggish - certainly less go than my last facelift disco but this is 20 years later so I'm not expecting it to go as well.
The smoke is the issue... any thoughts? I'll repost here when Ive checked the fault codes again after a drive.
Thanks.
