Hi all,
it's been a while since I posted here!
My TD5 (Defender 90), when it's been switched off for a while and is cold throws some thick grey/white smoke for a few seconds when I drive off. It only does it for a few seconds, maybe 10 to 15 seconds and then it's ok. Whilst its something it sort of stutters, like one of the cylinders is missing or something like that.
I put in some injector cleaner, but it hasn't made any difference at all. I did a diagnostic check twice, once it gave "Injector 2 Peak Charge Long" and "Injector 2 Open Circuit Detected". Those faults were cleared and drove for a few weeks with the same smoke coming out, another diagnostic check did not give those faults?
The mechanic told me the type of smoke looks like it's diesel not burning well...
Any ideas what could be going on? The heaters are bust maybe and the burn on the diesel is not good for the first few seconds until the cylinders warms up?
Thanks!
