gadget Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 My TD5 spent a long time idling today and when it finally moved off i opened the taps and boy did it smoke. The smokescreen it left was impressive. Quite thick grey smoke and it made it for about 50 seconds. It cleared up and it's back to normal without problems. Would the panel consider this the be normal for a TD5 after idling for about 90 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave88sw Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 All diesels do that, i wouldn't worry about it. I can't think why you'd want to leave it idling for that long though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck in field in the wind and rain trying to sort out possibly the most airlock prone diesel system in the world (JCB 3CX) Probably should have wedged the accelerator on fast idle, but was busy getting wet and miserable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
