smoking
« on: March 02, 2008, 22:13:39 »
has anyone got advise on smoking engine :roll: blue smoke and oil going down rapidly. things people have guessed at; head gasket, turbo, crank case compression, rings,     its down on power but then it will pick up again for a bit :roll: i have cleaned the air intake around the intercooler pipes etc which was gunged up about 1/4" thick. cleaned the valve thingy where the exhaust gases come back into air intake.....oh sorry forgot to say its a 2002 td4 73,000 miles  8-[

have you checked your intercooler pipe work for splits my brother in laws  wwas down on power and chucking out smoke turned out to be the shortest pipe split open

Try eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-in-box-freelander-crank-case-breather-td4_W0QQitemZ180252510696QQihZ008QQcategoryZ31348QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

There's also someone selling them on there for about £25 (buy it now), although I got one for about £15 a couple of months ago.

Easy to fit, other than the usual nightmare of re-fitting the air filter housing  :shock:

Cheers for that. :cool:
I managed to get the part number off EBay and took it back with me. £30 it cost  :doh:
Managed to fit it by kneeling on top of the engine with my rear in the air. :-$ =;
Just need to cure the brown smoke blowin out under load now  :rolleyes:
122k miles any ideas?

For £25 each service I'd be fitting a catch tank instead.
