Fundi??

Hi all. My 300tdi has the exact noise shown in this video. Any idea what's making it??? Thank you

Hi again all. I've spent the day trying to track down this problem but still no luck. I found a bit of goo blocking the tiny pin hole on the return banjo and cleared that up. It helped a bit but she still will only just about start, and then run really rough but only as long as I dont give it any gas. Im wondering now if there's build up of goo in the injectors. Would this cause these systems? Is there anyway to check working injectors without removing them? And what about clearing them and the lines? Would a fuel additive clear them, especially considering its only barely ticking over?? Thanks so much for any suggestions

Thanks all for the help. I've cracked everything that could be cracked and it seems to help but still no joy. I can confirm fuel is getting into the engine from the injectors, but I'm getting very few drips from that return banjo. How much fuel should be moving back to the tank from that return pipe?? After lunch I'm going to work backwards from the return banjo and see if I can find where the fuel is flowing. Back at the exit of the injectors or somewhere along those joining pipes. It's very frustrating. It'll cough along for a minute sometimes but any accelerator and it cuts out instantly. Hmm!!!!

Yeah. It ran fine - years ago lol. I've cracked the injectors again and there isnt much fuel there, but am I right in saying without the engine running it might'nt flow too much?? But it's just seems more and more like a fuel issue. But the lift pump is working!! I'm very perplexed. Ive taken the spring out of the solenoid to by pass that and still no lock. Would it be the injector pump?? Is there a way of testing the injector pump? As that's too expensive to change without being sure it's not working

Light coloured smoke, grey or white ish. Nothing too dark anyway

Hi all Generally a search of old topics helps me no end but this time I'm having no luck so hopefully this post will help me. I have a 300tdi 110 that's been sitting for 5 years, and I'm restoring her. But I just can't get her to run. I've replaced the lift pump, which was gone, and she's now getting fuel at the injectors. I've changed oil and filter (no bug) fuel filter ( it's full) tested the glow plugs (all reading 11v) Ive bumped it and towed it in 5th, but no luck, I had hoped that that would free up any 'seized' bits. The Battery is perfect, I can 'move/drive' it while in gear on the stater motor alone, so I don't think that's dead I've shot easy start into it and it coughs but won't keep going. It's trying hard to start it just won't go the final bit. Any suggestions??? Thanks a lot
