:embarrassed:
Hi all, just been recovered from M62 at Morley,no power from enbgine exept on first starting up. Then smokes like a gud un! Anybody had similar [robs and what was the cure, Bazz of Ponte. :cry: :boohoo:
-
what engine? V8 or Diesel
-
Hi Ben its a 2.5 Dhse Auto,the smoke is whitish, Bazz. :embarrassed:
-
sounds like Fuel pump timing or Another Fuel Fault
have you tryed changing Fuel Filter, we had a BMW X5 doing similar, i.e. difficult to start, rough running, loss of power and revs
do these faults sound like the problems you are having??
-
That certainly sounds like a control fault; most probably a sensor not working properly and it's trying to compensate.
What you need is to get it plugged into a Diagnostics setup and that will probably just tell you straight off what the problem is; who recovered you? I would have thought they would at least tell you that if they could not do it themselves.

Thanks guys it'll be going to non franchised l/r agent on Monday, I'll get him to check the feul filter. As a thought there as allways been a smell of diesel from that area of the engine compartement, Bazz. :grin:

:) Just a few words to let you know what has been found, 2x delaminated Turbo pipes and a plastic one with a split in it. All being replaced as we speak. Once again thanks for your suggestions and help, Bazz. :off topic: :troll:
-
That is surprising; that would normally restrict air supply causing black smoke rather than white.
Mind you if the air flow sensor was saying no air I suppose it would cut the fuel out and give white!

Hi wavey, the faulty pipes were causing another turbo pipe to colapse and choke the engine, now o/k and quieter than before, and slightly better power delivery, Bazz. :lol:
