Title: Smokey 200tdi
Post by: VogueSe_paul on December 09, 2006, 20:28:37

I just bought a very cheap 200 tdi from tamworth, it smokes very badly (white ish ) on start up, but it runs and sounds spot on with no nasty noises, i was thinking may be the turbo oil seals or even pump timing?

any other ideas welcomed :)

white smoke is usually water so id say the head gasket personally

True....

But check to see if it's using water... or if there is water in the oil.

Oil seals would usually be blue as per buring oil.

Check the timing... very easy to do, and doesn't take long.  I'm not that far from you if you wanted a hand?
White smoke on start up can be unburnt fuel (i.e. if fuel is injected at the wrong time - thus timing out)... black smoke is the result of partially burnt fuel.

well things may not be as bad as i first though,  The crank has damage to the 1st woodruff key slot but the second is ok, i'll time it backup tommorrow with a new belt, tentioner, woodruff keys etc and spot weld the front pully back on,

fingers crossed it will be ok,
