The van has been smoking, blue, quite a bit recently. Not noticeable when I'm driving, but at night when I look behind the van - theres a lot
- going up a hill I eclipsed the Police corsa behind me last night. Started to think I'd added a touch too much two-stroke oil to my diesel, so I filled up with an additional £20 of Shell Optimax diesel to be safe.Just finished changing air filter, engine oil filter and engine oil today. (used correct 5W30 Fully synth, as recommended w/ Gen. Ford oil filter)
After its oil change, I checked and double checked everything as normal, then fired her up.
Looking underneath the van, I could see the blue smoke appearing even on tickover now :S
I've read that my van takes 6.5L of oil with a filter change, but it'd be lucky if I even used 5.5 litres, and that made it look like it was over the 'full' mark. been double and triple-checking the darned dipstick, but still seems to look like its just on full, or just too much. I'll dip it later on again and report back.
From what I read on these forums, it sounds like a turbo seal has gone?
The van also has generally little power, nothing like its 100hp claim on the door
Very worried, will answer all questions. Considering going straight to garage tomorrow as I cannot afford another van
Thanks in advance guys
Could buggered EGR explain this? Have a colleague that used to deal with fords, and he said they used to have pallets of EGR valves arriving
