Hi, when my car is cold it idles really lumpy, it has a bad smell and today for the first time I heard a knocking sound coming from my engine and there was a lot of white smoke (so much so I could't see out of the back window). This is why I am really worried as obviously a knocking sound is never good. When my car got warm it was a lot less lumpy, the smoke disappeared and the knocking noise stopped. Now, the car was a still a bit lumpy when driving it and when I hit turbo I didn't feel that it had as much power as normal (although this could just be me being paranoid and trying to make a problem because of the earlier problems).
From what I've read online today it looks like it could be an injector problem. Really what I was hoping for was for somebody to tell me where the injectors are located in the PD170 as I've been searching online for ages and cant find it anywhere!
Also, if anybody else has had this problem or knows anything else that it could be, any help would be much appreciated please
I have also read that in 2011 some PD170 cars were recalled due to injector problems and I don't know if mine was one of the ones that had been called in for a recall and whether it ever went in if it was..
Sorry for the long post!
