TOT; Smoking Kangoo
Sorry to post this here, tried uk.rec.cars.maintenance but not much in the
way of replies. I have an 03 reg diesel Kangoo van, 57,000 mile on the clock. On the door panel its described as 1.7DCi, the plastic cowling over the engine reads 1.5 DCi and the logbook reads 1465cc. Passed MOT in January which included an emissions test, but now its started smoking. No change in performance, no starting problems, no sign of overheating. The smoke is greyish. How much it smokes varies. It clears when the engine oil level is low, when topped up it starts again. Mileage is only around 8,000 pa most of which is stop start traffic, rarely gets a decent run. Tried Wynns Smoke treatment in the oil & a Redex product in the fuel, they don't seem to make much difference. Stopped using Morrissons diesel & switched to Esso. Any ideas on what this could be? Someone suggested a blocked oil way or something - sorry my knowledge of engines, especially diesels is almost zero. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

DO NOT attempt any reorganisation of the engine using a ANGLE GRINDER until you get the right hump with it |

This can develop into something "interesting" to "exciting" when it starts to get enough oil to run without any fuel, ie you can't switch it off and as the "fuel" supply has no restriction it just takes off and either self destructs by severly over reving, you manage to stall it or cut off the air supply. Short distance, low mileage, stop start stuff is not good for engines they are rarely properly warm. Most engine wear happens when the engine is cold/cool. You need to find someone who knows that engine and which bits wear out letting oil into places it shouldn't be. It might be a blocked breather or something that is forecing oil into the wrong place your tame engine bloke would know that as a common problem though. -- Cheers Dave. |

Not turbo is it? IIRC a failing turbo starts by leaking bearing oil.. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Is the smoke much worse when the engine is cold? Are you using more oil than you should be? (The manual should list the maximum amount of oil that the engine should use per 1000 miles or km) Adam |

Without looking at the vehicle, the symptoms sound that of a partially blocked PCV system where oil is either being forced through less than optimal turbo seals into the inlet, or through the PCV into the inlet, and being burnt to create the smoke. You do say it is loosing oil. I would have it checked out before the engine injests too much, and revs itself to distruction. Note that failed turbo's on Renaults is umm , par for the course shall we say!!! Tim.. |

No car brands make their own, Kangoo one is by KKK according to www.turbotechnics.com Never has been a 1.7 Diesel (wikipedia, euro car parts...) but the 1.5 has had different power outputs. It could be like all the diesel BMW 1s from the 116d right up to the 123d are all 1995cc in different states of tune to go with their badges. |

Why would a broken valve spring cause oil consumption, with no other obvious effects? Also, if a leaking head gasket, there would be either a leak somewhere on the block, or the oil would continue to go down whether it has been filled up or mearly empty, as well as there being an obvious continuous smoke from the exhaust.

Might get done for dangerous driving if trying to use it while on the move, though. |

Tried Wynns Smoke treatment in the oil & a Redex product in the fuel, they don't seem to make much difference. Stopped using Morrissons diesel & switched to Esso. Any ideas on what this could be? Someone suggested a blocked oil way or something - sorry my knowledge of engines, especially diesels is almost zero. What's the matter TMH, don't you believe what you have been told on uk.rec.cars.maintenance? Especially as you have been given some good advice by "Mrcheerful" and others there - but I suppose you'll always be that drama queen playing to any audience you can! Now let that old Kangoo FOAD and give it some peace. I do wonder why you just don't get a life of some sort. If you don't have anything better to do than make pathetic attempts to attack me - and they are truly pathetic, I'd suggest you just slash your wrists and put an end to what is clearly a very sad existance. Well it seems that I have hit a sore point then TMH - but I would suspect that what I have posted is rather true. I suspect that what you have posted is your usual bollox. I wonder why you never contribute anything useful or positive around here? The usual response I see! LOL BTW, at least I have a pair of "********" unlike the Drama Queen here. To reiterate, you were given some rather good advice on a newsgroup that exists to deal with problems such as yours (which by the way I refrained from commenting on - because for you, it was a sensible post for once) - and after receiving that information, posted here "Off Topic" for no particular reason other than to feed your over-inflated ego, just like a drama queen of old! I posted here ****wit because I didn't find the advice I wanted. Hence the 'clue' in the first paragraph of my post - which you were too thick to notice. The advice that you were given was in fact quite good - but you were really too ignorant to take it, or lacked the intelligence to actually digest it. I don't think anyone really wants your opinion anyway, since you are a well known troll. Trolls only exist in the fantasy land of the Medway - where you live I believe. ;-) Now as for "what is clearly a very sad existance" (sic) - then you really should be looking to yourself first with many of the posts that you have made here in the past (and no doubt will continue to do so in the future). I don't snipe at one individual person, not do I stalk them via Google Alerts to other forums so I can snipe again, I don't continually change my sig. I contribute in a positive way and have written two FAQ's. Not sure where you get that information from - but you are certainly rather paranoid! And as for your FAQ's - big deal, they were probably taken from responses to your questions here. As a matter of interest, I don't use google alerts, Google gathers far too much insidious information on the users of its service. By the way, I'm not really "attacking you" - I'm just occasionally giving you a small doses of your own medicine - and like all little prats, you don't like that and start whining when it happens! Or in other words you are a complete ****wit. Nice to see that you appreciate my wit then! g Definition; "A ****-wit is a individual with absolutely no wits or intelligence and tries to come off smart when really they are just a **** wit". Nice to see that you have portrayed yourself in the correct light TMH. ROTFL |
