zd30 white smoking

[aviboy]

Had a turbo failure... after replacing the turbo the van is white smoking constantly during idle and when revving..... the turbo was replaced about a month now but the smoking continues...

Please advise on possible issues.

white smoke is condensation most likely. check diesel water content.

head gasket may also be an issue. do you have to top up the rad?

[madcoolieboy]

white smoke??! diesel??! *instant headache*

[speedaholic]

check yuh piston rings!

[aviboy]

[speedaholic]

is your engine burning oil?

[aviboy]

hey did you re-adjust the Fuel pump to the new turbo?
is the new turbo the same thing that you took off? if this new turbo is pushing more air than the previous (not PSI but CFM) then you might just have to make the pump inject more fuel to burn. just a thought.

how do you go about checking the piston rings? by doing a compression test or something?

[speedaholic]

more or less.. if the rings are worn out.. and oil gets into the cumbustion chamber.. white smoking occurss.. check out the sticky topic on diy maintainance and trobleshooting in the forum...

where did you get this info from? cause i know white smoke is a sign of not enough fuel
when burning oil it tends to be BLUE smoke

[speedaholic]

often it is hard to distinguish white smoke from blue smoke.. since they are almost similar... but yea i kno the burning of oil is blue smoking... but its worth a try to check out.. white smokin occurs when there is a faulty injector spray pattern or defective glow plugs. shud check fuel pump calibration...

defective glow plugs??

that is only for starting up, if the engine is cold then the glow plugs would heat the cylinder glow plugs are not for running. the air is compressed and because of the heat in the compression it becomes volatile and at the highest point of the piston travel (most compression) the diesel is injected.

speedaholic, i hope you doh think i picking on you.

[speedaholic]

haha nah man! dsi! but i just quotin what i seein from the thread! so yea... check it out viewtopic.php?f=41&t=238098

Check the oil lines to the turbo, see if its leaking.

Did you replace with a new unit or a used one? - you might have a bad seal in the turbo leaking oil to the exhaust side of the turbo.

What was the reason for changing the original turbo?

[bigchief3679]

you did check that the new turbo is good too right? white smoke (especially weird puffs) indicate a fuelling issue whether it be injectors, clogged pump strainer/filter or some other fuel line obstruction. i once had a disintegrated fuel supply line that clogged the fuel filter and strainer...................it was a real learning experience

[speedaholic]

^^^ tell us more about this...

[aviboy]

problems over.... changed seals on turbo and everything good now

[bigchief3679]

^^ nice

[vickyexp]

How much did it cost to replace the turbo & seals?

I've also got the same vehicle!

[aviboy]

$800 it cost

^ who did the work fro you and where you got the parts?

[aviboy]

sookhai's diesel.... but idk if they would do it for any1 as they did it for us because of a link up...

[Damien]

thanks, got the parts there as well?
