200TDi problem

Think I'm fighting two problems.

One is that the timing may be out slightly, causing light amoiking on acceleration and deleceration, and the other problem is a possible fuel supply problem.


--- Quote ---The only other idea I have is that the injectors might be leaking... so the pressure in the lines is disappearing overnight... but that is a pretty long shot and I'm not event sure it would cause the symptoms.

It could be something like that. It just started doing it one day.

Thanks

beast5680:
as an aside when the head gasket went on my 200tdi it only went on the no4 cylinder to an oil way so didnt pressurise but smoked like anything as it consumed all the oil.

if you,ve had water thru the injection pump it will give the symptoms you have

if only one glow plug works it will still be a pig to start from cold as they do need all 4 to give it a kick into life

muddyweb:
The issue is that it is a repeatable fault.  Water in the system might cause it once, but unless there is water getting into the fuel line every time I'm not sure it would happen.

A glow plug might make starting difficult, but once a diesel is spinning, the rest of the cylinders ought to fire straight away.

The fact that there is a progressive return of firing says to me that it has to be fuel related rather than electrical or mechanical (like a head gasket or timing)


Maybe worth taking all the high pressure lines off and giving them a good clean through then bleeding them manually and re-attaching.

If water has got into the system, then hopefully the filters will have caught some of it.  Water in a diesel injection pump isn't good.
