thanks Singvogel at least when i have tried it it will be something eliminated but I have a gut feeling it will still be the same. thanks for the flat hose bit cos it sounded like it was going to be costly for part and labour. when I start to take things off tomorrow I will have a look for the...

update I have just got car back from garage and the mechanic seems to think it could be the synergy2 whats causing the blue smoke. he has told me to first re-fit the egr and if this makes no difference to take the synergy off altogether. if i do this will i have to fit the old bosch maf back...

thanks for that Singvogel

I have turned the synergy off and left the maf on but results are still the same. Is turning the synergy off the the same as disconnecting it as i don't want to take it off, if just flicking a switch has the the same effect. car is going into garage tomorrow so i will post what...

oil level is ok. I fitted a standard LD filter I spoke to a mechanic who works on heavy plant and seems to think it could be over fueling even though its blue smoke. can the synergy be turned off with the pierburgh maf fitted?. thanks for your replies:D

it must be yorkshire slang for a fat hose:speakenglish:

sorry Singvogel the mechanic said a bottom bagging (hose) had become disconnected he also said that it was very soft and that deposits collect there and that's what makes them rot and split. would you recommend fitting the silicone ones or fitting the normal rubber ones back on?

HI Singvogel i thought there would be some other reason, i dont understand it but i will take your word for it makes me feel better about my £30 now:) not heard the dying duck yet,but i have a gander down my allotment that keeps taking chunks out of my leg:D

as a past plumbing and heating fitter i have used tons of silicone in far hotter situations.I have stuck basins back with it that would pull the wall down before it would come of first. there is some silicone called dunbrick that is specifically for very hot flues that would have done the job...
