Hello All..
Having had issues with an OEM pump (Meat and Doria/Italian brand) that is being replaced by the supplier with a Hella unit… I refitted my old electric pump so that I could at least move the car about. Anyhoo in a fit of absurd recklessness I insured the car last night and then went the ‘whole hog’ and booked it in for an MOT… tomorrow!!
Will be servicing (oil/filters changed) but when I got the car out of the garage I increased the revs to help the car get up to temperatures. Using my long bar I fixed the revs at 2000rpm… initially there was a slight hesitation and what seemed to be a ‘miss’ albeit almost imperceptible… the engine settled into running at 2000rpm but almost immediately on increasing the revs the exhaust started to billow out in clouds of light ish grey/white smoke.. maybe there was a hints of the smell of diesel in the air as well it’s difficult to say.
Now a few years back I replaced an injector and the loom on the fuel pressure rail and the car ran perfectly.. and did so when parked up when it failed its MOT all those years ago. The fuel tank was removed during the refurbishment of the rear end drained of all fuel. The fuel in it now is ‘new’ fuel…
Reading on here there are a few options..
Sticking injector(s) /leak back test etc
Turbo on its way out/blown seals
Intake pipes split(boost side?)
EGR something or other(I have a delete on mine)
Anyone have any ideas I should really have taken some photos.
Increasing revs just increases smoke. Smoke present but not overly obvious on tick over.
Maybe should have waited on the MOT(wheel Alignment prior to that)
Thanks in advance
