macandrc Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Evening all, finaly got my 90 back on the road after fitting a defender 200tdi, took it for a test drive tonight and it is blowing a shed load of whitish smoke. the previous owner told me that he had a full intercooler fitted and had turned up the relevant bits for increased power. i have held some kitchen roll on the exhaust and it comes away absolutely spotless, so its not oily at all. anyone got any advice? can i down tune the engine myself? if so can anyone help with what i need to do and where to set the different settings too? colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy andy. Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Have you checked fuel filter? White smoke is water in fuel, blue is oil and black is over fueling. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suggs Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 white smoke sounds like water, head gasket maybe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 white smoke could be unburnt diesel fuel, does it smell like fuel ? is the injection pump timing correct ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 white smoke could only be unburned fuel if the timing is out, and if it was water, surely he would have noticed that the "bounty", or now known as "plenty" was damp after holding it against the exhaust, maybe you just need a bit of black smoke to compensate? mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
