300tdi belt tensioner
Xtremeteam:
been thinking & swithering over this,if the key way is gubbed it will allow the pulley to move side to side on the crank,this "could" change the timing but shouldnt cause white smoke,if the keyway is ***** it would need a new crank or a new engine,i wish i could diagnose it for you but its hard going by a description
muddyjames:
the mechanic did say it could be a new crank but hehas a 300tdi engine in his yard that has had the top half cracked or something and the crank is perfect and he will sell that 1 to me for half price (£200).
I am sure I will find out sooner or later what is wrong and will fall over backwards with the bill!
Xtremeteam:
if he thinks £200 is 1/2 price id buy it NOW

The thing that get's me is the smoke goes once it has warmed up - certainly timing if massviely out can give white smoke (lack of fuel ) so i've read up, but even a tooth out on the timing won't make it that bad I remember a certain Russ Brown-Lee telling me it'll just drive really badly.
Oh I do hope it's fixable for your sake James and not too much money.
