    A lot of people search for MPG. It's always a bitch with the price of diesel. A challenge to get the old bus running sweet though..

    300tdi wastegate

    Thanks for the replies. I don't have an air line so I guess i'm just gonna have to get the pliers on it. I haven't had another chance to look yet. Does the actuator rod push out or pull in ? (need to know which way i should be pulling it?) Also can anyone explain to me what the symptoms...

    300tdi wastegate

    300tdi wastegate

    hey all. How do you get the wastegate actuator rod to move on a 300tdi? i.e due to it's location I can't get it to move using just my fingers, so i'm not sure if it's seized or working fine. It would be nice to know as i'm having problems which could be caused by a sticking or stuck...

    thanks for replies. Recently flushed intercooler, no excessive oil/muck in it, no oil in intercooler hoses, hoses not delaminating but they are a bit soft - maybe need renewing. I did once try flooring it when it smoked/hessitated - I got a huge trail of white smoke behind, completely filled...

    interesting.... i had a search for tdi wastegate probs and came across a useful trailerfitter vid on youtube. I just had a poke under the bonnet, but dark now so had to give up.. It looked like the fatter rubber pipe from turbo to wastegate was splitting. I didn't want to push it too hard...

    Yes the smoke is sometimes blue. what do you think the problem could be then? this has been an ongoing problem since I bought the disco. I've done a whole list of stuff to her but nothing remedies the smoke:(. is a sticking wastegate unstickable?? thanks for reply.

    Testing injectors whilst on vehicle.

    Hello. I've got a '95 disco 300tdi with a smoking problem. Will smoke around 2000rpm with engine hot or cold, slight hessitation too. Otherwise the truck is running good. Is there a simple way to test the injectors while still on the vehicle? I read somewhere that if you loosen the fuel...
