54TDCi Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Just recently got this car and am enjoying it for the most part, there are some issues however, one the temp guage works fine but takes a long time to go up. when i sit stationary for some time it goes up to normal operating temp and the fan etc kicks in, but as soon as i start moving the temp drops down to about 75 ? When sitting stationary again the car is fine, when i rev it its also fine, no smoke but when driving (hot or cold) when the car takes off with good boost there is a cloud of smoke from the exhaust but not if you go up speed slowly . split pipe ? or turbo seal ? the sat nav wont pick up GPS, Aerial or just the base ? the heated windscreen only works on one small part, not half but a 3cm line down the right hand side ? fuse or screen ? some injectors are leaking diesel through the leak back from the injector to high pressure pipe, but i have the replacement bits for there, will this contribute to smoke ? cheers all !

orangeboy Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I had the smoke thing on my car,1.8 tdci, I like you could see it in the mirror with lights behind me and accelerating in second gear. I fitted an EGR blanking plate, and it's cured! There is a speperate post on hear about fitting EGR blanking plates. Hope this helps.
