before you think..its the turbo or head gasket read on.

Just to let you guys know i had a fault on my P reg 300tdi this weekend where the symtoms were smoking on tick over and badly smoking on take off but seemed to clear when the revs were over 3000rpm.

After asking a few mates and people in the know everyone seemed to come back with the same ideas... turbo oil seals going... head gasket... fuel pump... belts slipped a tooth...

so after getting it to work and in the workshop i held the revs on a fast idle and cracked each injector off and #3 cylinder didnt seem to change the idle
so i pulled the injector and upon inspection i could see the nozzle had cracked luckily I had a spare set of injectors so banged another in and wahay sorted:bounce:

So just thought I'd share it with you all as you never know it may just happen to you.

big Al.

Thanks mate. Good info

Useful info. Something to stick at the back of my mind, just in case..
