Hello all.
I am new on here so just want to say hello, and ask for help and advise.
I have a 300 tdi, 1995 that has been runnig fine until today.
Without warning, it developed what can only be described as a miss fire. Foot to the floor to get anywhere and blowing smoke out under load.
This gradually got better on the journey home. Driving it now, it seems fine.
However, there seem to be a noise resonating into the air box that can only be described as a chugging noise, it is quite loud.
The cooling system isnt pressurising, there is no water loss, there is no water in the oil. No oil has been burnt since I last topped it up which was 3 weeks ago.
If you pull the rocker cover cap off while the engine is running, there is no heavy breathing or signs of water.
If you crack each of the injectors off individually, the engine note drops evenly on all 4 cylinders and there is a good pulse of fuel at the injectors.
I have had the inlet pipe off to the turbo and had a look inside. The impellar is all intact and there isnt any real play to indicate a turbo failure.
BUT, the noise persists. From inside the car, it does actually sound like a miss fire while stationary and driving, but the power is all there.
The EGR has already been blanked off, but apart from that, the engine is totally stock.
Can anyone help........................
