Hi folks, is it just me or, i have a 1.9td abl... i know low powered etc etc I've had the 2.4 and both 2.5s 88 and 102 never driven the 151 bhp 2.5.
anyhow, on this with the choke out runs like a watch, this is unmolested with 150k on the clock, currently getting much needed tlc. I thought when i had the timing belt done last week, the lumpy running would go away. Now it's slightly worse running without the choke until it warms up, even then it's slightly smokey. I've changed glow plugs, ripped the dodgey insulation and panels out the rear, welded the floor in the usual places, replaced with nice new acoustic and insulated foam and layer of foil etc. So getting there, cleaned the egr yesterday it ran sightly better i must say after cleaning the egr valve and connecting pipe to manifold, then blanked it off. But it didn't cure the smoke without the choke out.
I just drove my pals 19td it's similar, are these engines prone to this running issue or could the timing sort it out?
any ABL gurus with knowledge?
