hi,
my old connects engine packed up after 200000 miles. according to the garage it was a water issue probably cracked block . its a 230 110 bhp 2007 model
I have bought another connect engine out of a 2010 van & after a lot of bits swop it is now in the van & started straight away. engine sounds ok.
how ever it does seem to be putting out a fair amount of grey/white smoke.
I ran it up to temperature & it never over heated. every now & then it ran a bit lumpy on idle then once it was warmed right up it didn't start to well.
we havnt run it up the road yet.
the van was stood over a year before it was done & I am wondering weather the exhaust is full of water from the old engine maybe? hence the smoke. pump timing a notch out after I changed belt .
any ideas or suggestions appreciated before I go at it again this afternoon
cheers phil
