Piston rings?

Mike Pavelin · « **Reply #2 on:** April 02, 2006, 07:52:46 PM »

Could be the oil pressure switch faulty - very common. Doesn't explain smoke though.

chrisjones · « **Reply #3 on:** April 02, 2006, 08:01:58 PM »

Smoke was why a said piston rings?

What colour is the smoke?

chicken_legz · « **Reply #6 on:** April 02, 2006, 09:37:34 PM »

mostly white

think that means unburnt fuel

rally_man · « **Reply #7 on:** April 02, 2006, 10:20:58 PM »

White smoke=Turbo problem :shock:

MK1 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 02, 2006, 10:55:00 PM »

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!!!

chicken_legz · « **Reply #13 on:** April 03, 2006, 08:16:58 AM »

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

Mike Pavelin · « **Reply #14 on:** April 03, 2006, 08:36:23 AM »

Is the idle still as smooth as it was before?

chicken_legz · « **Reply #15 on:** April 03, 2006, 08:48:27 AM »

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

?

Mike Pavelin · « **Reply #16 on:** April 03, 2006, 09:37:27 AM »

Could've ingested a bit of water and squashed a conrod. This could cause rough idle, white smoke. Get a compression test done.

chicken_legz · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2006, 10:02:50 AM »

a thousand thanks :beerchug:

Dingo · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2006, 12:26:15 PM »

Just a thought, check your airbox aswell.

chicken_legz · « **Reply #19 on:** April 04, 2006, 08:02:50 AM »

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 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

?

chicken_legz · « **Reply #23 on:** April 04, 2006, 06:50:08 PM »

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
