imc205 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Cold start its really rough, it starts and seems to idle spot on but when revved it splutters and smokes. Guy must have had it warmed up before I viewed it, it ran spot in and I drove it home no probs. Stopped and started a few times and it was fine no smoke etc . The guy did say it was a wee bit rough when cold but I just guessed it was glow plugs or something silly. Been on checking all the talk about egr and maf sensors so il try cleaning and blanking first before changing anything else. Can I ask where ur temp gauge sits at normally? Mine sits a needle over the half and that was going easy yesterday on the way home 70 in 6th. I'm thinking the temperature sensor possibly too? I'm no mechanic but reading all the posts on forums it could be anything l. Just hope it's not injectors!

stef123 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 It might be temp sensor related? Live data would be your answer.. My temp gauge sits bang on in the middle and doesn't move even when driven hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imc205 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Cheers, thought that would be about right as it is on my transit il make a call tomorrow and see if I can get it checked out.

stef123 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 There is 2 thermostats on the 2.2 so the temp gauge could be down to one of them being open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
