smoke

tezzer · Mar 1, 2012

HI all i spoke to soon when i said car was running OK. up to now fitted the synergy2+ had a service cleaned the pcv fitted egr bypass, when i first start the car cold i get a bit of blue smoke this clears then when engine is warmed up i sometimes get a lot of blue smoke and sometimes i get a lot of black smoke coming out of the exhaust. I rang roveron today and explained the situation. I explained that i have ordered a set of silicone hoses and he has told me that if it is still the same when i have fitted the hoses to fit a pierburgh maf sensor. to be honest i think that i have tried fixing something that aint broke,and made it worse

What mileage has your car done?

The MAF will start to go off between 35,000 and 70,000 miles, the ronbox can compensate for a dodgy one, but not for a totally knackered one.

The pierburgh MAF and synergy are a cost effecctive option when you look at how mucha genuine Bosch MAF is, the pierburgh also seems to last better then the Bosch.

Don't buy a cheap MAF off eBay as it will possibly be a cheap copy and probaly wont work right

I can understand why you're thinking you've made things worse, but I don't agree.
Perhaps you have found things that were about to fail soon anyway.

The original rubber turbo hoses have a limited life - about the same as the original MAF.

Think positive - everything you've done, and are going to do, will be a benefit and an improvement / upgrade - not just a replacement / repair.

Cheers,

I had to replace all the turbo hoses and the MAF at around 82K

Hoses were split - but didn't look like it.

MAF or course cannot be checked just by looking and I think it just gradually faded out of spec without me really noticing - until I took stock of the situation.

I just thought that the engine was getting tired as it grew older - how wrong I was - it's pulling better now than when it was new.

I'm very, very, happy with it now, and intend keeping it for as many years as possible.

fitted new intercooler hoses yesterday wasted 50 quid still loads of black smoke coming out of exhaust. going to take the synergy 2+ off completely and refit the egr valve next couple of days to see if it makes any difference i have been advised to buy a pierburgh maf.But all this advice is doing is costing more money, not paying another 68 quid out for it to still be the same
