TD smoke

Hi, recently bought a TD and it smokes like theres no tomorrow, it basically produces its own smoke screen even when the engine is up to temperature. maybe i should sell it to the mod any ideas as to what it could be? overfuelling?? engine seems to run ok, just smokes a LOT! cheers for any suggestions.

smoke is white btw

at a guess i would say warn piston rings my 110 td does the same on start up but then clears

Summat's wrong with it. td engines always smoke a bit but it shouldn't be making a smoke screen once it's warmed up. If it's proper white smoke it might be unburnt fuel which might point to injector or pump issues or maybe timing. More likely in a td is bluey smoke caused by knackered pistons, rings, valves etc. If it needs major spending you'd be far better off investing in a nice 200tdi.

baught it for 400 to use as spares anyway so not to fussed, but am now contemplating selling it on and try and make a bit of a profit . so was gonna try and stop it smoking if was a simple cheap job. ah well not to worry! ill sell it to one of those "we'll buy any car" lot. one round me offers at least 700 :S worth a shot at tryin to get tht for it. unless anyone here wants an a reg 90

Siiiiiirrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuusssssssss!
