1st Post here guys hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Just bought my first diesel discovery 1995 300tdi done 118k and it has an intermittent blue smoke problem. It starts fine no smoke at all and also drives fine and pulls fine however when i rev the car up to a constant 2500-3000rpm after a few seconds it bellows a constant blue smoke cloud then if i rev it up and down it will clear and its a similar situation when i am driving, no problems motorway driving none on roads either only when i am in traffic or moving slowly in 2nd and 3rd gears e.g. when in slow moving traffic when i move away in 2nd gear and the traffic slows down again and i ease off the accelerator in the same gear it will bellow blue smoke again until i put the clutch in, drive off or rev up, the smoke smells very much like diesel and is definitely not the oil burning smell i personally think it is heavily over fueling but i hav never had a diesel before so im open to suggestions, i am not losing any oil at all i have replaced all the injectors with brand new ones yesterday and cleaned all the breathers i can see but this has had no effect.
Also when revving up from idle to around 1500rpm its very lumpy and feels like its missing but setting off driving it is fine which is another reason why i think its getting too much fuel once it is at a higher rev range it is fine. I also think its a little thirsty to but having never had one before im not too sure, it cost me around £30-£35 on a round trip a little less than 100miles which again might reinforce the idea of over fueling.
Any other ideas or fixes or options would be greatly appreciated
