mud knight:
has anyone got advise on smoking engine :roll: blue smoke and oil going down rapidly. things people have guessed at; head gasket, turbo, crank case compression, rings,     its down on power but then it will pick up again for a bit :roll: i have cleaned the air intake around the intercooler pipes etc which was gunged up about 1/4" thick. cleaned the valve thingy where the exhaust gases come back into air intake.....oh sorry forgot to say its a 2002 td4 73,000 miles  8-[

mud knight:

reriessandlover:
have you checked your intercooler pipe work for splits my brother in laws  wwas down on power and chucking out smoke turned out to be the shortest pipe split open

just a thought

mud knight:
