No Power, Smoke and a bit of a banging noise!
AndyN:
Ive just started my new toy and its well noisy, when towing it home under a bridge i though a tractor was overtaking me, and it was only idling for the brakes and steering!
also smokes and has no guts at all, my mate has looked at it and reckons he's seen mullered turbos have this effect, anyone have any other ideas?
i got it knowing it needed work and im prepared to get a new engine for it but obviously if i dont have to , i wont.
other than that its a lovely motor.
thermidorthelobster:
Could you give us a clue what the car is? Is it the Rangie in the picture? With a tdi?
AndyN:
96 fourtrak 2.8 td. sorry
AndyN:
been told it could be the turbo or a blocked intercooler, will try these first and a damn good service before i splash out on a new lump.
with any luck she will be ready to play with in a week or two.

Is she smokey just when she starts or all the time she is running? My fourtrak currently has a smokey start but I've been advised this is down one of the glowplugs not working so it takes a little time to build the heat up in one of the cylinders.
