Hi guys looking for some advice, I'm totally new to this game and nothing like a mechanic. Want a fence no problem but mechanic I am not.
So the story been I've bought a 55 plate 1.8 tddi. It's seen better days.
It's smoking like a fook. Black smoke. I have a mechanic round and he said it was the boost hose. Which had a hole in. He replaced it. Made no difference. He said I need a leak test on the injectors. So I got in touch with the previous owner as he said he had 2 new injectors. But they need coding. In which I told the mechanic. He said they are self coding. The engine has a rock to it and I can't get it to start without cold start. Yet it has new glow plugs.
Can anyone point me in right direction
