I'm hoping that I can find somebody that has had a similar problem or might have some ideas on what to look to address. I purchased a 1991 Defender 110 with a 200Tdi engine with about 60K miles on it. There wasn't any service history known to me so I went through and did a number of maintenance items. It was starting and running perfectly before all the work and now, on cold start, it has the normal black smoke but then will have white smoke (pretty heavy when applying throttle). If I drive right away, the white smoke is gone after driving less than a half mile. When blowing white smoke, it sounds a bit rough...but after the smoke is done, it sounds great. Here is the list of work that was done:
I've tried to read up on possible issues and I've read it could be a bad injector leaking fuel or it might be air getting into the fuel line. A bad injector would seem almost too coincidental. I would think it would have something to do with something I did somewhere during the process to cause this issue.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks in advance!
- Replaced timing belt (kit included tensioner & gaskets)
- New coolant
- Oil change
- New oil filter
- New fuel filter
- Checked air filter (looked almost new)
- Checked transmission, transfer case and diff fluids (all good)
