Hi all, as the title says, i have a 200tdi disco engine in my
90.
Yesterday i went in some water off roading and it conked out, we pulled her out, took injectors out and spat the water out,
We also disconnected the top intercooler pipe at the inlet and wound the engine over, with injectors in (i think) but not connected,
About a pint of water came out, we then re assembled it and it started 1st time, absolutely lovely.
As if nothing ever happened.
Which leads me to..... About 3/4 hours later as we were ready to go home... It started playing up.
The engine will barely rev and when you try it splutters and backfires.. Not badly, but bad enough! Cause diesels dont normally back fire?
Smoke is abit black, and abit white
My questions are what do people think is wrong with it?
Im aware the turbo maybe in a bad way, im getting a spare this evening.
I cant understand how it ran lovely, all day then started dieing?
Have i bent a conrod? Or could the engine still run fine with a slightly bent rod?
I did a search last night and im going to check on tuesday
Play in the turbo
Diesel filter and lines to the engine
Both fuel pumps
Lastly i have a snorkel, which has been water tight in the past, i think a elbow is perished and has a hole in it. Was only about 18deep. Just above 200tdi disco engine intake height.
Thanks people for who ever contributes.
The engine ran so lovely before, its a great shame for me
Thanks graham
