mintalkin Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 some of the common faults are, injectors - the delphi injectors are not the most reliable and often loose there code or pack up all togeather so look for black smoke aux belt - this can start to vibrate,you have to replace the belt and pulleys to cure, sound like a drumming noise on tickover egr valve - these can become choked and give out fault codes, its a simple job to clean but a messy one intercooler hose - these can split creating black smoke and a flat spot at around 1800rpm, its the big hose from the bottom of the egr valve alloy wheels - these can flake because of the brake dust eating into them any kind of rattle or noise from the clutch area could be a failing DMF at around £800 to replace not cheap starter problems is also another sign of a failing dmf as the swarf blocks up the starter and because of the weight of the engine front tyres will not last much more than 14000 miles.
