as far as i can tell it would not have a DPF on it so thats good

 

Colour of the smoke ?

 

Hi Twistedhicap, tried to post eariler but it got lost in the ether when our network packed up. the smokes a kinda grey colour and smells of unburnt fuel, only happens first thing in the am, or if you realy floor it down the bypass. going to do an oil change this weekend - going to try fully synthetic to see if that has any effect??

hmmm unburnt fuel could be a dribbly injector black smoke is usually over fueling blue is oil and steam is head gasket lol !

 

may pay to have it looked at at least plugeged in see if anything comes up re codes and look at the fueling on live data ?

Sounds intresting, didnt realise you could get data as precise as that. Being totally niave is it something that a ford dealer would have to do ? ive read many horror stories of turbos and erg valves being incorrectly diagnosed as the primary cause of smoking and then being ripped out by cold blooded ford engineers p.s hope youre not one

nope im thouroughly independant only way to be, depends on the ecu and scantool used but yes can get quite accurate idea of whats going on ! Ford would say you have to use Idis but there is other stuff out there !

 

egrs you can usually sort your self turbos can be checked etc these here electronic engines are childs play component wise its the lectricery bits that confused the issue inside there just still suck squeeze bang blow !
