Engine ?
Age of vehicle ?

Temp gauge reading ?

any 'mayo' in the expansion tank or on the dipstick ?

Any other symptoms, hunting - splutter - ?
 
Stop being w*****s, he said he was new to the forum, and as I happen to know that he had field stripped the disco in the middle of a very cold and very wet salisbury plaine then he deserves a bit of respect.....
Temp stays normal, no "man fat" in the water and the exhaust looks like a whitish blue...but after some tinkering with the fuel pump all returned to normal output for a short period(30 seconds). But after cleaning it(the fuel pump ) it still keeps conking out.
If the disco was up to its nuts in water(which it was)(did have snorkel) could the ****ty fuel cap have released water into fue....

Thanks all
Unionjak.
 
Handbags at ten paces:) not sure about the smoke,but take the stop solenoid out and check for ****e in there. I had a simelar problem without the smoke and found it was that.
 
I'd pull a sample of fuel out and have a look at that first. U will see water in it straight away just make sure u test a decent amount. If that's what u suspect run a pipe from the intake on the lift pump into a jerry can of fresh diesel. Got to be worth a try.
 
Thanks for your advice the engine is a 200 tdi it's a 1990 temp gauge broken but not over heating no sludge in expansion tank or engine it will start but tick over rough revs up but full throttle it smokes badly ( blue/white) then engine dies but will start up again straight after that .
I joined this forum for advise not abuse as I'm new I just want to enjoy my disco as much as everyone else and I've just hit a wall and need advise to fix it cheers Paul
 
Soundz like the snorkel isnt sealed and youve had a drink. Check the oil level it might have gone up if you have.
