C270 cdi
Hi
I done a 200 mile round trip to Leeds from Birmingham .
And the amount of black smoke when I put my foot down
Was embarrassing . There was no loss
Of power no limp mode. I have done the inlet manifold mod.
Now the glow light has come on . So I have a glow plug out
So car is booked in Friday to have all the glow plugs replaced.
But there is also a whistle - siren noise coming from right by turbo
Could this be one of the pipes that go in to turbo or the turbo
It self ? Would the glow plugs cause the black smoke or the
Air - turbo ?
Thanks Mark
 
Possibly the Cat is blocked or one of the induction pipes has split.
 
I would guess you have an air leak on one of the turbo pipes causing the engine to overfuel, look/feel where the whistling noise is coming from exactly and you should hopefully find the leak.

Hi

Induction pipes were do I look for these ?

They are big rubber pipes that run from the turbo to the intercooler, intercooler to inlet manifold.

I no those pipes it must be the one
That goes into turbo because that's where
The noise is coming from.
Cheers Mark.

Hi I had my glow plugs done to day. While it was there
I asked them to check pipes for splits. They couldn't find
any but they did say turbo seal & muffler unit. Off turbo need
Replacing would these parts cause black smoke & whistling noise ?
