200tdi Issues

<< < (2/2)

Ralph:
Sounds to me like low compression

Pete:
Get the compresion checked. Then take another look at the timing, as Pondy says. Play at the pully will cause problems like yours.

  22/25 mpg is crap for a 200, and it should pull like a train from just over 2000 rpm.

 Have you checked for excessive oil in the pipe from the intercooler to the inlet manifold?
 Might be a good idea to clean out the intercooler, as too much oil in there could lead to the smoke you describe, and the low power. A light smear of oil in the pipe is normal.

 I would be careful about taking the rpm to 5000. I know a few modified ones that will pull that safely.
Then again, I know of a few older ones that have done the hydraulic thing, and reved to destruction on their own engine oil.

 Make sure that you use a really good engine oil. The extra cost is well worth whille.  If in any doubt, try www.difflock.com/forum
They do all the lubricants, fast delivery too.

 On the face of what you say.
 Check the timing again.

 Pete.

diesel-smoke:
The intercoler and pipes are free of oil contamination, but will get the timing checked again. and see if that solves the problems.

thanks for the advice
