Hi Guys,
OK, so I've got a 2006 Freelander 2.0 TD4 with approx 86,000 miles. Called "Bender", so everyone behind me can "Bite My Shiny Metal Ars* (wheel cover)" .
And I'm stumped, I got the old TD4 smokin' problem. I am really hoping some one can help.
First off, way back at the beginning of the year I was on the 303 heading to Winchester, when I had a lack of power and bucket loads of Black smoke. I limped back home to Trowbridge (Wilts). After hours of looking I found it, a hole in the Intercooler Outlet Hose where it had been rubbing on the Air Intake Ducting mounting screw, after replacing said hose all was fine for a few days. I even strapped a piece of very, very thick leather around the hose until I can make up some kind of bracket to stop the rubbing. Then I got the smokes on start-up, same as most everyone else, white, smells of BBQ that stopped after a couple of mins. The tick over was still a bit lumpy though even after the smoke had gone. I replaced the Crankcase Breather Filter with a BMW one, it made no difference so I took it to my local garage. Well after handing over £300 they told me they couldn't find any problem and that a blat down the road cleared it. About a week later it had the Smokes REAL bad, thick clouds of white-grey smoke all the time, still smells of BBQ and has lumpy tick over and if I take her up to about 2000 revs it feels like it's choking for air.
I have done a leak back and the results are
1 (oil filler end) 5.75
2 7.50
3 6.50
4 8.50
I have had 1 2 & 3 injectors out, stripped and cleaned the nozzles, no matter what I tried I could not get 4 out, so I put it all back together with the plan of running it to get everything hot, then trying number 4 again. I've pulled the injector plugs one by one and each goes a bit lumpy as expected.
Now I am really at a loss, it's now November the weather is shyte and here's the sorry for myself bit, being disabled I don't have much income. So I really can't afford to start replacing bits that might not be at fault.
After all the threads on LandyZone for Smokin' Freelanders has anyone actually found a cure. I've read just about every thread but a lot stop dead before an answer is found.
I'm starting to think I'll have to sell my EWI5000 to take it to my local Landy (WJ Joyce) garage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
