Colour of exhaust smoke.

[WADEY]

Having some problem with the engine on my 2.7 diesel Terrano. When it is idling there is no smoke at all. If I then rev the engine it emits light blue colour smoke and has a minor mis-fire. When driving car there is no exhaust smoke even if I put my foot down and does not appear to mis-fire. I have recently changed the fuel filter which didn't seem to make an difference. ANYONE ANY IDEAS:nenau:nenau:nenau PLEASE>

Give us the rough mileage and age of car, i.,e. is is TD or TDi etc..

we need to know if its TD or TDI.

if TD, check mini filter in the banjo bolt. Check for fuel leaks/air getting into the system

if tdi, check MAF and the above except you mightnot have mini filter

just a start.

I asked the same question last week and had not a lot of response (other things were going on around here though) the 2005 TDI in question is on a Nissan fault finding computer as we speak, so if yours is a TDI with bosh maf etc. It may be the same issue, I'll tell you when I know more. :thumb2

Exhaust smoke - light blue colour.


Thanks for the interest. Fairly new to site. The vehicle in question is a SWB Terrano 2.7TDI, 1998 model. Hope this helps. The mileage is 66,000.
Thanks WADEY.:clap:clap:clap

Slightly off topic (but still in the same ball park) as I have been confused slightly by this thread responses.

I have the T2 and I think on the paperwork it says its a TD but it has a MAF which reading above means its a TDI? Noob question I know, but how do I know for sure? lol
