same as mine aswell blanking plate from club shop solves the problem but the initial cause i dont know as mine run fine before this happened im going for the injecter route as i chaged a set of injecters in a mates shogun and the difference was unbelivable

getting a mechanic to have a look on friday,will tell him to check injecters and see if timeing is ok,also change all filters inc fuel,and take off and clean egr again,as im thinking same as mark that if its on the paj it should work scratch

forgot to say mitsi recommended to change the injecters first and if that didnt do it then it would be pump recalabration they seem to think it would be one or the other

same as mine mate i cleaned mine but blanked the egr that stopped the knocking and smoke the knocking is deisel knock due to over fueling if you blank the egr for now then look at the cause of the problem im going to remove my blanking plate and change injecters to see if that cures it fully as the blanking plate is just masking the real problem but its doing the job for now

i think it is over fueling mitsi say its injectors or pump so im going down the injecter route first but at the same time if i wasnt so fussy about things working right i would leave the blanking plate on and forget about it thats the choice there is that is the help i can offer for now no one can say for sure what cuases it as it could be different fror each indevidual moter but we can only offer our help and previos experiances to people that need it so telling people they aint using there heads is a bit harsh i feel mate as we are all trying to help each other here it is up to individuals to accept the help and advise that is offered or go down there own route that my opinion anyway Wink

my egr was gloged up but i dont know if it was open or shut though
i now know that it is free and should be doing wot it was designed for but ths vacuum pipe was blocked off before i cleaned the valve
so wot im saying is this it made no difference to the car after cleaning the valve and unblocking the vacuum pipe
so reading this post il start looking at the injectors and fuel pump as i dont want to block the egr as said before its there for a reason!

Sorry if I jump in here without reading the thread fully, Are you peeps talking about NEW injectors. I have had Diesels for many years and have never replaced an injector even on a Fiesta that covered 270,000 miles with me (and still runs well) All I have done in the past is on the first sight of smoke give the car to the then local diesel service (Warrington Diesels) and had them check the injectors and rebuild/clean as required. If the injector has a JET of diesel then it will make the engine smoke if all are the same then the engine will blow smoke as well as run like a bag of *beep*. The injector must have a spray of fuel and can only be tested with the proper equipment. DON’T try with the injector out of the engine as the pressure used to open up the injector can inject fuel into the body through skin.

I will shut up now.
Very Happy
