now then chaps/chappettes
just got back from langley with the lads from hull4x4 . a right eye opener
:shock: :?:
any ideas
-
Piston rings?
-
Could be the oil pressure switch faulty - very common. Doesn't explain smoke though.
-
Smoke was why a said piston rings?
-
i feel my wallet emptying
-
What colour is the smoke?
-
mostly white
think that means unburnt fuel ??????
-
could be head gasket (steam) but u said water ok ???? from rallying days unburnt feul is black white is water ????? :?
-
sorry fuel been to the pub.
-
White smoke=Turbo problem
-
I believe clean white smoke is water.
If it was the turbo i.e. bearing, seals or shaft oil would be getting past and the smoke would have a blue tinge to it.
-
o it can be oil you guys never seen a diesel running on its own sump oil after its been turned off and the keys took out if twas water you would be getting drips out of the suast and if you held ya hand by it ya hand would get damp but hey its a vm so it would be overheating like a bastard i rekon change the o p sender and moniter the oil is there a chance she got a gulp of water to do the rings on a piston
-
Say no more o wise one. It's a VM!!!
-
it was a real real wet day rained for hours mud up to the eyeballs,
truck got a right soaking
oil pressure dropped after a long steep descent
-
Is the idle still as smooth as it was before?
-
bit lumpy . starting also feels different
there was a loss of power when leaving site , a noise like a slipping belt
noise stopped , power returned ????
-
Could've ingested a bit of water and squashed a conrod. This could cause rough idle, white smoke. Get a compression test done.
-
a thousand thanks
-
Just a thought, check your airbox aswell.
-
compression test booked ...
if it has bent a con rod, anyone got a rough guide on how much dollar ???
-
Isn't there a VM specialist in Chesterfield????
-
yup
-
yup tried him earlier ... calling again tommorrow
spoke to a few people about it now ,
most mechanics make that expensive sucking sound..
just hope its not too expensive
anybody know what the thread is for the oil pressure sender is ????
-
let everything dry out
cleaned out air box
cleaned up connections on sender unit .
pressure up to 4 on starting slowly drops down when getting warm..
smoke worse
and
water out exhaust
-
Cracked head??
-
its bad juu juu hmm i think you is gonna be spendin
-
hope not but that all sounds a little expensive. :(
-
:cry:
-

at the minute dingo seems to be the closest with the cracked head
poo !!!!!!
-

turns out the turbo is kaput ...

-
Have a look in Fast Ford magazine? There used to be a few companies doing recon work on Turbo's for RS's n Cozzies
-
