Sounds like the glow plugs are not working. Is it worse on cold start up. Check the glow plugs for power.

How does the engine sound. Unburnt diesel when warm would normally mean injection timing is out. This doesn't happen on PD engines unless the cam belt slips or the cams are worn. Another possibility is injector seal failure.

i think its an injector just changed the loom and the camshaft looks like new i have always used the correct 505.01 oil and change it every 6/8k
think im gona go with it being an injector

See if you can get a VCDS engine measuring blocks scan. The injector figures might give you a clue.

Blocks 1, 4, 8 and 13 should have injection data. Depends on what VCDS you use and what engine it is. This info is all available in the pro version of VCDS.

had the injectors looked at today told me they ar ok and firing the correct amount of fuel think il have to bark up another tree

could this be the start or a head gasket a fair bit of back pressure is there when the oil cap is removed

Is it using any water ? Have you checked the EGR valve to make sure it isn't stuck part open.

I'm going to get a look at it tomorrow will try the egr valve ,also gonna clean the inlet manifold out as the last time i looked at it it was pretty gummed up
as for the water no it doesn't use any but there was some sludge at the cap tonight just hope it is condensation tho fingers crossed
will let u know how i get on thanks for ur help
