Thanks everyone, took the casing off the injector pump and found the diaphram is shot to pieces, now waiting for a replacement from the UK. Thank you to Mandy, havn't tried your Mechanic in Cairo yet due to the holidays here. Will let you know how it goes. :jaw:

Will clamping the pipe between the turbo and the fuel pump cause any long term damage to the turbo? How far can I drive it as spares are hard to come by here? Someone said it could be a split diaphram at the fuel pump end of the pipe. Nothing in the manuel. If so is it easy to change? Is it a...

Another question, can i discconnect the vacuum pipe from the turbo and drive it like that with no adverse effects apart from power loss.

Its a 110 turbo deisel 1990 with128000 on the clock. We have just put another turbo on as the engine would occasionally rev very high. We took the pipe off to the inlet manifold and thought oil was dripping into the inlet manifold. After fitting the new turbo I was just checking again and still...

Urgent stuck in Egypt. Thought we had a faulty turbo as engine suddenly starts to rev uncontrolably. Checking further it seems diesel is getting into the turbo via the vacuum pipe from the deisel pump and dripping into the inlet maanifold. Any ideas please.

thanks for your help, came to the conclusion that turbo is good. Went to a very large garage today where they spoke English, they checked the oil I had put in and found it was oil for petrol engines. when i drove to the garage about 2 miles away there was lots of white smoke from exhaust but...

Done what James said and couldn't see any mist and held some kitchen roll under the outlet and no sign of oil. Can the turbo leak oil intermittently? When i first dipped my finger into the inlet manifold there was some oil but it looked very clean and new. Seems to be running fine now. Dipped my...

Thank you, if I see a mist of oil, presumably the turbo needs replacing, there is definitely oil going from the turbo into the waste actuator.

Hi, I have a 110 landrover turbo deisel 19j engine. Yesterday just as I was setting off for the ferry the landy had been idling for about 10 mins when I went to pull away it suddenly started to rev and lots of white smoke billowed from the exhaust replaced by blue smoke. I turned the engine off...

Hi, Thankyou for your replies and advice on our Turbo diesel and from the welcome from a senior member, it sure is a difficult choice, but if I get a 200TDi to exchange with ours it will probably will be an old engine still, albeit more reliable.

Hi folks, We have a 1990 turbo diesel 1990 pre TDi 200. We are planning a trip to Africa. Some people say this engine was the worst manufactured, others say only the really early turbo diesels 1986/1987 were bad and that the later ones were OK. It runs really well and has done about 123000...
