That has come from the turbo. Fuel can't get there.
Black diesel or the bacteria.
what do you suggest to clean it up, can i use a cleaner , will it do any harm if it leaks into the cylinder![]()
That is NOT black diesel nor is it bacteria. That is oil from the turbo pipe. Make sure each inlet valve is closed by turning engine by hand to close them then swab out inlet tract with rags dipped in paraffin, blow out any excess with an air line. Remove all turbo pipes and clean them out. Remove intercooler and clean it out. Remove cam cover and clean out oil separator. Whilst you have turbo pipes off check turbo fan for axle play. Any play at all, replace turbo or have it refurbished. That is the result of years of neglect.
Right more work lol, would that stop it from starting (is the cylinders full of oil) where is the oil coming from? if i clean it all will i have to keep cranking to clear all the oil out?
Is that the cause of the oil? would this stop it from running?

Yep the seal has gone in your turbo the oil that goes around your engine also lubrictes the turbo the turbo is now letting oil past into your tubo pipes and inter cooler collecting old soot dirt ect and pushing its way to your valves
Don't think so. If the turbo was leaking that much it would have gone to runaway by now. There maybe some leak from turbo but more likely to be from cam cover because oil separator is blocked and vent is not working properly. Due to serious neglect and lack of maintenance.
It won't help with all that gunge going in from turbo where are you with fip is it running clean diesel yet are all your injector pipes clean are your injectors clean ??
Hi yes cleaned right thru to the injectors and then found the exhaust smoking like a pig then took off the inlet manifold and saw all that gunk,so its strip down time

Ok glad you got that side of it clean but I dought you will know if the actually injectors are working ie gummed up no spray no start plus you should of had manifold off ages ago when your were doing injector pipes as you wouldn't of been able to get to them.
Yes managed to work round it as i dont like taking things off if i dont have to
a lot of cleaning ahead, hope this works
Mm that must of been tight then as for the time of taking the manifold off (15 mins most) compaired to fiddling about with no room I would of had that off.
I know that nowbut hey we live and learn (normally the hard way with me), so lots of cleaning and try again
Yes but don't give up the cost of this is small really it will be worth it
Just take your time clean it out As much as you can like wammers has suggested you won't get it perfect but do your best make sure valve is closed you don't want crap in those bores do you and an air line will help googles needed![]()
