Ben1989 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Continuing on from my previous post... Ford Focus Zetec S 1.8 tdci 2009 Few problems I've been having... - alot of blue/white smoke on start up (smoke smells bad, hint of diesel) - kangaroos through gears 1-3 until driven a bit - ticking/tapping noise from engine - sounds like a tractor Continued... This evening, I started car, took about 7 or 8 seconds to start, same problems I've listed. I went indoors, fetched the kids, strapped them in car, gave it a couple of high revs to clear the smoke as it does clear when driven for a bit and BANG! oil everywhere, debris on floor! Please help!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben1989 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Do you want pics of debris? Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It would most likely help in identifying a cause. Can you show us the damage to the engine too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben1989 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Too dark but I recovered these that was on floor in oil puddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Nasty. Can you see where on the engine those parts have come from to give us a rough idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben1989 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Give me 2 mins and I will take some pictures of engine. May not be clear but I have no ideas about engines etc. 2 mins mate. Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben1989 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 This is all I can get mate. Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Tango Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Still can't see great, you'd be best taking off the splash guard (Looks like it's held on with a cable tie :/ ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben1989 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 What's going on here! Omg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 When it went bang did the engine cut out instantly? Going by the pics clearly something has detonated and at the moment as i can't see too great with that under tray in the way - I'm gonna say there has been some vibration from the engine not running correctly and the crank or piston has left the block.

Ben1989 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I revved to 4000 rpm, it has a limiter, 2nd rev to 4000 and it made a crunch sound, bang and a bit of aftermath (like putting a sheet of metal in a paper shredder). Engine is not dead. Took it to 2 separate garages last week, 1 told me EGR valve, another told me injectors. Bit too late now haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben1989 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Lots of vibration when revved after start up and driving through low gears, kangaroos and almost felt like it wanted to stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 if you can get some pics tomorow with that under tray removed would help a massive amount in determining whats gone wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben1989 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Okay. Will post some pics tomorrow of the damage. Thank you very much for your help. Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Looks like sump parts to me.Possibly a rod shattered and took the sump out on the way.Sent from my SM-G930F 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 injector fault, causing bent rod (causing poor running) then from continued use the rod has broke and shot out side of block. thats my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben1989 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Big job? Affordable? Or end of the car? It's worth £4000 running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 It'll be a new (second hand) engine for a start and most likely a set of injectors. Where in the country are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
