niggle Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 My 1.7TD was a bit smokey on cold start and its done 325hrs, 200 I`ve done in just over a year and although I have changed the filters every 100hrs I wasn`t happy with the smoke so I removed the injectors and gave them to Poole Diesel to check.They all were faulty and they replaced all the nozzles and I refitted them same day,What an improvement hardly any smoke on start up. I also done it for peace of mind as when I researched this engine only fault I could find was piston failure due to injectors sticking. Just thought I`d share this with you because even if u have a pre filter/water trap as I do[large racal] the injectors can still foul up due to the marine enviroment/use Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
