first thing i would do would be give it a service, glowplugs,oil,oil filter,air filter,diesel filter and see if this helps.

smirnoff is your man to ask

will do m8 ,but they dont have glowplugs anymore ,
now they just have injectors which basically do the same job

ill give it a go and report back
thanks

as far as i'm aware m8 every diesel has glow plugs as these are needed to start it, injectors are just used for putting the deisel into the cylinders. my car is a 54 reg and still has glow plugs

[smirnoff_rules]

the old transits didnt have them bur the 2000 on transits did .. but thats nothin to do with the smoke , after 2 minutes here not needed anyway ,,

sounds like the pump timing is out to me m8

ill check that m8 and give it ago
i know for a fact though that i dont have glow plugs
so pump timing it is then ( hopefully)
thanks

we use a product called inovation power clean wicked stuff as it cleans everything from tank to exhaust still using it on ford galaxy 1998 reg with 450000 miles still passes nct,the reason that it is so good it actualy removed the sulphur residue other cleaners dont.

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

How many miles?450000 or do you mean 45000 its a big task to do half a million miles in 10years

[cactikid]

yes it is a taxi and valid mileage as i service it twice a year and lost count of how many timing belt kits i fitted lol

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

That explains it!!

[zozz123]

timing out or air filter blocked or injecter pump over injecting or injectors leaking
or low on compression thats about it me8 hope you find out the problem

[Mikebuk]

Smoke from fuel in a diesel is usually either low compression or over fueling by either the pump over dosing or the injectors not atomising the fuel. If the timing is spot on then one of these three is more than likely the cause.

[eddiegoldtooth]

sounds like the pump timing is out, if so ya need a diesal bloke to adjust it, takes about an hour, or it may be an injector stukk open?
(you have one injector per cylender, it is not a glow plug problem)

[cactikid]

if people read threads you will see it has already been fixed.:deal:

[neto_7]

Just clean the injectors and will run fine without smoke!

[twittowoo]

if it drivect injetson the penasl injector thay split noramly on number 2 cylinder thay are about ?35 each but you can check them befor you get new one is the link rod to the air intake broken or come off as this will make black smoke to if you keep using it like this it will melt the top of the piston it not the glowplugs all the best m8

what year is it is it a newer one engine type tdci ?
