Any Turbo Diesel Mechanics ?

[Banishit]

my Mundaino TDCI started blowing alot of smoke out when under hardish acceleration

is this the turbo going tits up ? as the engine runs fine and drives normaly the rest of the time at sensible revs, but it does not seem to do it if you just press the go pedal when sat on the drive

ideas please as I know **** all much about Turbo Diesels
cheers

what color smoke?
mondeo tdci are good at spliting intercooler hose's!

if you did need a turbo i could do you on a good deal for a turbo if it matchs the 1 ive got sittin on the shelf at work

Agree. Sounds like a blocket air intake

[macrs2k]

faulty EGR valve possible also

[Banishit]

umm, thanks for the replies, the smoke was black the first couple of times now today it was a big cloud of whitey smoke if that helps, the car has done 110K

serviced about 3 months ago

Agree. Sounds like a blocket air intake

when did you become a mechanic
as tim says they split intercooler pipes.also bad for injectors

[Banishit]

right need to check the pipe first, but as I say it runs fine at 2000 revs or less

Very common for sticking EGR valves or possible intercooler pipe connection

My Golf blew a Boost hose and ran like shite with lots of black smoke. Also Like said, EGR valves aren't the best. Take the little pipe that fits to the top of it off, Block it off and try again. This bypasses the EGR and will make the car run better Also try and run a good quality injector cleaner such as "Cataclean"
