kimmyb74 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 New here guys a bit of advice if possible bought an 07 ford focus tdci zetec climate of an old guy I say in his 70s plus don't think he's used it much and not used the motor way either I notice some smoke so I gave it some pace on the motorway as them smoke started to clear but sparks came out of the exhaust so I gave it some rev hopefully it clears next day no smoke 😆 but I'm sensing some smell fume smell I'm guessing any reasonable guess I assume that the crap I blew out on the motorway is the cause is it possible the catalytic conveter could be faulty or so 02 sensor or is it dirty I bought cat cleaner shall I wait till if it cleans it all out and the smell goes ?? From the guy I bought it off had service from 2013 I notice when he drove it he's hasn't gone over 40 mph slow I know but I doubt he's done 60 never mind motorway running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 what engine? the 1.6tdci can have a problem with the fuel injectors seals (copper washers) leaking. you get seepage of diesel around fuel injectors. the small puddle then starts cooking into a thick black tar like goo that smells. Sometimes doing the bolts up a bit tighter fixes it for a while. don't overtighten. if you strip/break a bolt you have a serious problem see pic (I know that is a peugeot forum but the 1.6tdci is the peugeot engine) http://www.peugeotforums.com/forums/307-38/injector-removal-washer-seal-replacement-1-6-hdi-126850/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
