Oil use

(1/3) > >>

Yoshi:
I have a 1988 110 which was once a 2.5 petrol, but is now a 200tdi.

It has the 1.6 transfer box (soon to be rectified!)

My question is this, doing a steady 65mph down the motorway with the current transfer box, is the engine goosed if it used nearly a gallon of oil???

Its fine round town, does perfectly, its only when its on a run.

graham2306:
Fuel starvation.   The 200tdi engines will scavenge everywhere to get more oil to burn if it isn't getting enough diesel.  Check your fuel filter and lift pump.


At that speed on the motorway it is going to need loads of fuel and if there is any blockage in the filter or the pump isn't performing fully it will suck it pastthe valves and pistons.

At least thats what my engine builder tells me.

Yoshi:
LOL i dont think it was fuel starvation,

Cost me

Frankie-Boy:

Flippin' heck Dan, it must have been your 110 that caused that oil slick not BP.  ;)

bogie:
