Brainstorming required, folks!
My project Elegance estate TD smokes at idle, compared to my identical daily driver.
Spec: 180K, oil and filters changed, previous owners bodgery eliminated (manifold gaskets, breather rubbers, cam cover leaks), turbo and injector nozzles rebuilt, glow plugs done, delivery valve o rings changed, fuel pipe o rings changed, EGR cleaned. Running on 50% SVO.
I have not run the car much in the year it's been in my garage and legally can't take it out for a blast, so its done little more than warm up and idle. It was better before I took it to bits, which is annoying... Possibly I may have moved one '7g' delivery valve part's orientation, as it came out with the spring, ISTC.
I can't face tearing down the fuel and induction system yet again...Any ideas, have I done something stupid?
Cheers !
