of course the engine will need to breath out of the oil filler when one pinches the breather hose are you sure its not the the catch can creating to much crank case pressure ? remove the catch can and then test just to rule it out

yep see this allot in many other engines i work on and maintain ..calcium in the water mixed with coolant another possible way it over heated could of also been electrolysis issue ..... and maybe your radiator is suffering a coolant flow http://www.griffinrad.com/electrolysis.php?tid=46

it also mentions the visous free wheels so unless yours is permanently locked up mine locks up every now and again only when its needed you soon know when the viscius fan locks up by the howling sound and engine load

if the eltric fan isnt seized check the R4 fan relay swap it with another if this doesnt work ..disconect the fan and supply the fan with 12 volts just to rule out if the fan is working i live in australia i have had 40 + days on end and i drive it hard. ... i have never over heated with the...

maybe you dont tow or 4wd many gurus ask me why i have a few extra gauges installed dont trust the the stock coolant needle they dont move even when the engine coolant is on borderline of over heating if your viscous fan is working correctly you should only hear it kick in when its...

not only a poor exhaust systems can create smoke ..injector issues EGR issues engine breathing to many things to list.... the coulor of the smoke out the chimney is a good place to start

the truth to be known the original head bolts are Torgue to yeild basically once use item ..even if the bolts are renewed this wont fix a warpage issue a stud has a higher clamp down force than a bolt...... upping the torque to fix a pressurising leak is a bandade fix ..you may have a...

check all your earths and connections check and swap the relays incase of a lazy relay also spray the relay box with wd40 incase there is some slight moisture

edit due to to human error

it could be possible the XYZ switch on the transmission got a belly full of water but this normally throws M S lights on the dash and transmission is locked in 3rd gear but i could be wrong ..just check to make sure the waste gate lines are still connected sounds to me over boosting or...

take note the smoke coming out the chimney while trying to start ....does this engine try to start if spray is introduced into the air intake just to rule out timing or sticking lifters depending where your reading fuel pressure but there is a screen inside the head if this is blocked you...

wash the area first then search for the leak dont just guess maybe a loose fitting or a silly push on fitting or regulator gasket ....... gaskets are cheep as chips they are also a once use item as they are a crush gasket type maybe run a spanner over the regulator bolts .. this is...

yes these cooling lines can be plugged up ...thats providing your EGR isnt active

turbos can fail at any time specially if they do allot of around town work as the turbo sees many cycles spooling up and down compared to a turbo that sees allot of high way driving ..hot shut downs is also a big killer as the housing that holds the bearing can warp and the hot oil sitting...

i once had my td5 to loose compression for a short period of time ..engine whizzed over faster than normal on the starter ..i even sprayed the engine down the air intake it wouldn't start may the lifters be slightly sticking or control valve i dont know maybe wrong grade of oil

on the flip side i also had my td5 to loose complete compression for a short period of time ..starting motor whizzed over engine faster than normal .i may also have hydraulic lifter issues this then can result to compression issues

it is running differently as there should be no white smoke ..i am trying to relate to this situation as mine is intermittent

what a silly idea that was the screen gauze is to capture any unwanted deposited from the fuel return as well as a inferior filter to let go hopefully you havent blocked up an injector nozzle when you installed the FPR was the same gasket re used ? also where all surfaced clean on install
