Hi all, ive got an 80 tdi 1.9 with the 1z engine in it and its broken

I will start on the button but wont rev past 2k and blows one hell of a lotta white smoke. Ive checked the injectors and they are fine, the pump is also fine, the head gasket hasnt gone and i really know nothing about diesels so help! lol

I did have it running clear for about 5 mins and it was revving and being nice then it started smoking again

Anyone had similar problems and how was it fixed

Cheers
Jason

White smoke in from a diesel engine is generally caused by incorrect timing and/or incomplete combustion.

The crankshaft pulley on these engines has a tendency to work loose and move, which puts the timing out. It could also be a faulty advance solenoid in the side of the injection pump.

either way, unless you knowledgeable in this area, you need to take it to a garage and have them look at it.
