Good afternoon everyone,
I’ve got a 2002 VW golf tdi 1.9 alh engine code and she’s got a nasty smoke.
when revving engine it smokes out from the engine and the tailpipe. It’s a darker whitish and smells absolutely terrible. Like pure diesel oil. When it happens it blows straight through my air vents and fills the car and right out the tailpipe.
what I’ve done:
I ripped off the intake manifold as it was severely restricted when I pulled off the egr. Didn’t want to clean my manifold so I bought a new one along with a new egr from KermaTDI. All new gaskets and I did all the vacuum lines and n75 and the other one right next to it. Can’t remember it’s name. Also check valve.
I figured the nearly clogged intake was the issue and just did the vacuum lines on the side. I still have the same issue. No matter hot or cold it smokes bad. It hesitates too, more like bucking. When I put it in any gear it just kinda jumps along just like the engine when driving. Almost sounds like a miss but not sure. Any ideas?
Fuel flows good. Filter looks ancient so I have a new one but I don’t wanna keep putting more parts in it if it’s not gonna fix my issue.
I don’t have VCDS so I’m restricted to what I can do. tho I have no codes that I didn’t have before.
Only check engine lights I have are cylinder 1 2 and 4 glow plug and an overboost. I’ve had those forever tho so I’m sure those aren’t the cause.
also checked turbo and vanes are moving when actuated and spins freely so it’s not my turbo. I have a few ideas but I’m not 100% sure. I’m thinking maybe injectors, injector pump
Also not loosing any fluids whatsoever. Coolant is perfect and oil is a little high, I did overfill a bit. Oil smells normal and feels normal so I’m assuming no coolant in the oil especially because I haven’t lost coolant. It smells like diesel oil maybe gas. But I have no bubbles in my lines or anything so I’m really lost. Any replies are greatly appreciated
