I buy stuff off ebay or Toolstation, you do not want to spend a fortune on tools that do little work. Snap off or other makes are for those with all the tools, but can they do the work ?
smoking is back

The CD I have does not cover the glowplugs. Mentioned their location, but no other sections. The tightness is only around 18nm. A well fitting ring spanner could take them out.

needs a deep socket mainly for the room to get them out plus you can only remove 3 as the fuel pump is in the way of the other one
thats probably the one that hasnt been changed. sounds more like glow plugs if only during the cold. OR could be oil leaking into the bore somehow when vechile is left for a while. Although i would of thought you would notice during the summer
You can always test the glow plugs.
Disconnect the power lead to all 4 glow plugs, Long bit of cable connected to battery + and flick it on the top of the glow plugs. It should spark as it is making a circuit. DONT hold it too long!
The one that doesnt spark is the one that doesnt work

working on car over the weekend to see if i could find anything else with this smoking
after removing the intake pipe from the MAF to the turbo oil just spilled out maybe would say about 100ml if not a bit more
going to go about replacing the valve and fitting a oil catch tank on the breather pipe
a problem im seeing tho is catch tanks are 9 or 15mm and the breather pipe internal measures up at 20mm

If it's that much oil, maybe the turbo seals are going?

Ihave not checked the timing at all been in the process of trying to eliminate pipes seals and stuff aka easier stuff
If the rain holds will take the fuel pump cover off and see what lines up

If the breather valve was faulty how much smoke would it produce. And would it start working after a few mins im hoping it isnt a engine fault which would prob see me get rid of this car
This is why im trying everything I can on the outside of the engine

good afternoons again peeps
had a mate come round give me some help
from the marks on the timing the fuel pump is ok but we have noticed today that the oil pipes i cleaned out have a little oil in them not sure if it was what we missed or not.
another thing we have noticed is that we left the inter-cooler to manifold pipe off and the smoking was worse and not just after a normal time
we then refitted the pipe and give it a rev a little puff then clear
could this be signs of turbo fault

This is why im confused with the fault with it only happening when the weather is cold and the colder it is the worse it is
