a4 3.0tdi b7 plumes of white smoke

[fulham4eva]

Hi all,

So this car has now been off the road for 6 months with various issues. But now the only problem its showing is white smoke and running rough.

When you first start the car there's a little bit out the exhaust but not much, If I let it sit and idle it sounds really rough and it's shaking a bit but not much smoke.

After doing my own research everything pointed to injectors so bit the bullet and bought 6 refurbished ones all with good testing reports etc and replaced the copper washers and rubber seals. Which hasn't made any difference.

If I give it a few revs there's loads of white smoke, and I tried driving it back on forth which made the smoke even worse and running rough.

The car stinks of diesel.

Also oil level is bang on max and absolutely no loss of coolant.

So what else could the problem be???????

[fulham4eva]

Just to add I blocked off the EGR and no change

[Crasher]

A faulty injector or six, a common problem.

[fulham4eva]

If your right that would mean 12 injectors. The originals that were tested in which 1 was unusable and thus replaced. Then 6 rebuild injectors with glowing reports

[Crasher]

I don’t trust any of these reconditioned parts, they have cost me more time and money than I care to think about. BUT, that the smoke doesn’t clear when it is revved is odd, no fault codes I assume?

[fulham4eva]

I have a few ATM.

00819 high pressure sensor g65, SIGNAL TOO LOW
000258 maf sensor g70, SIGNAL TOO LOW
000260 maf g70, intermittent dash
00532 supply voltage b+, SUPPLY VOLTAGE TOO LOW

012597 intake manifold runner control, P3135 LOWER STOP NOT REACHED
004120 intake manifold runner bank 2, P1018 LOWER LIMIT NOT REACHED

004673 fuel injector cylinder 5, N88 INTERMITTENT OPEN CIRCUIT P1251

today I changed the inlet flaps and the rods also cleaned the connection on cylinder 5's plug but haven't had the chance to get the car going again etc got too dark

[Crasher]

You need all those codes gone to see what to do next, if anything.

None of those engine codes will cause smoke, does it clear fro a while if you rev the engine?

[fulham4eva]

No it gets much worse
