Blue smoke - indication of oil in the combustion chamber If that is the case you are looking at a head gasket or a crack in your cylinder head/block allowing oil in. Check your oil to see if it has moisture in (mixes with coolant to create a mayonnaise like substance) and the level. Surprised...

I have a 2004 TD4 and i am getting a burning smell (like clutch). It isn't the clutch as i have tested and found out that on pre ignition the smell is present - so it is electrical. The engine is cold so it i am thinking it could be reversed polarity? however i haven't touched any of the...

Got TC and Hill Decent on most of the time (ABS has flickered up couple of times) along with high temperature (when the engine is cold!) and fuel gauge is flickering. Same switch as per ? Thanks

Allisport EGR blanker and DPH hoses with all the other kit - now i have the amigos popping up (good job that i have plenty of time with my job to sort it out!) Putting a blanker in with hoses is best done as one job to ensure a full clean - howling intake box 115k meant a lot of carbon - used a...

Ian - i am not to sure about remapping the ECU for that task but if your having to fiddle around to get the glow plugs to activate it sounds like your air intake temperature sensor maybe faulty? Might be a shout to check and replace. Jus

Well after much deliberation - rechecking seals/torques/sensors for continuity/blockages etc. and putting the old egr back in and then having a diagnostic reader on i nearly thought i had ruined her! However i decided one last ditch attempt - rather than just turning the synergy unit off i...

Solved it :)

Hi - Need some help! Just fitted EGR bypass and replaced all hoses. Started up - Engine Management Light on. Idles at 750 rpm as normal but no acceleration at all (guessing the ECM is not allowing). Going to check today for any blockages as the intake sounds a little wheezy. ANy other ideas...

Where have you guys wired up the dash switch through? Also what are the three settings on the switch (Eco/Power/Torque ?) Thanks! Falk

Thanks for the replies gents - Thinking i'm going to replace front discs/callipers and brake lines (leaving the master cylinder/vacuum servo and ABS well alone as that is all ok). Rear is same deal - new Drums/shoes and lines (hand brake cables are still in gc). Anyone know of a kit for...

Has anyone here done a complete overhaul of their braking system front and rear? "04 TD4 Thanks

New filters and few other things bought from them! Thanks Decided to buy an egr bypass kit rather than clean and deactivate will give a neater finish! Also gone for the BMW upgrade on the CC breather Looking now for decent anti seize/general purpose grease for threads/gaskets etc - any...

Thanks for the advice - i had a look at F4 already - just thought £35 for premium parts wouldn't have been the top notch gear! Guess i can save myself a bit of dosh then!

Need some advice on my recently acquired Td4 gents! Would like to do a full filter change (fuel/dpf/oil/air etc.). Can anyone give me a clue to decent brands that have proven to work well! Already purchased a K&N air filter - want to get them all changed before i start adding in additives and...
