Daniel Peters Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi there i have a y reg (2001) fiesta i had rac out to it as it had a slight missfire and it blew out white smoke for 10 mins then it calms down i have had rac out to it and they said its more than likly the coil pack as with cylinder one not firing the white smoke is unburnt fuel passing out the exhaust is this true or is there something else wrong with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Sounds about right I had a similar problem with my mk5 I'm sure I got told at the time that its a common fault. Just pick up one from scrappies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 id suggest chaning coil pack, leads and plug all at the same time nothing worse than thinking you have solved the problem but it doesnt cure it better to be safe than sorry all are pennies really new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Peters Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hi would that stop the smoking then changing everything together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 HPD 95 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 id say yh it would and should stop a misfire, but if smoke is still coming out then consider changing the glow plugs as well, as is one isnt heating the fuel up in the cylinder then it wouldnt burn it cleanly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
