dCi 65 + C2 (<Sold)
One of the injector's popped off ^
Anyway you've missed a month of dreadful motoring so I'll spare you the full story.
To summarise:
Problem(s): Glow plug light constantly on, car cuts out under full throttle, starts after about 20 seconds of turning over and a massive white plume of smoke exits the exhaust. This is because the ECU thinks/knows the engine isn't getting enough fuel.
1. Glow plugs and relay changed. Fault cleared. Came back on 4 days later.
2. EGR Valve cleaned.
3. Boost pipework replaced.
4. Fuel pump replaced
5. Fuel filter replaced
6. Replaced injectors 3 and 4
7. Fuel tank dropped, seal and ring replaced, oil strainer replaced.
8. System flushed, oil changed, fault cleared.
9. Return fuel pipe clip replaced.
Cost: £1000+
Extra comments: We figured out in the end the dumb WOMAN (what a surprise) that had it before filled it up with petrol, drove around for a while, then thought 's**t' and got the tank cleaned but the clown who did it f**king hammered the ring on, as opposed to screwing it on. The petrol wore away all the seals and eventually the engine couldn't get enough compression throwing up the glow plug light. It was sucking air in from the seal and the return clip was buggered as well. It still needs two new injectors but that's for another day.
Now there's something wrong with the return, as the fuel sender unit is covered in leaking diesel, and when you prime it you can hear it sucking in just air as opposed to fuel. It's rough as hell on idle as there is about 70% air 30% fuel mixture in the lines.
The lines are getting replaced on Tuesday and the return valve is being checked/possibly replaced as well.
