@@wickedbg hello guys, I have a VW Crafter 2006 model. For me was bigger problem. The injectors was stayed open at idling (also during the downhill) and there was too many fuel at cylinders and this was very dangerous for pistons so I just repair the whole engine including injectors and DPF filter. HOPE that this is enouth and there is not further problem of the diesel pump that have the bad habit to destroy the injectors...
Hi Eddie, thank you for this information just wanted to ask, was this smoke coming out of your exhaust or the engine bay? . Because mine is coming out of the engine bay.
The smoke was purely from the exhaust. If it's from the engine bay, you may have a stick EGR that is allowing oil to drop onto the flexi pipe between exhaust manifold and main pipe
Hey man! You figure out what was causing it. I have a 2.8 b5 Passat and im having the same issue of smoke appearing to come from the right side of the hood.
@@dacrispy5268 First thing I would do is look for oily leaks. Shine a light in and look to see for any splatter, especially around the exhaust manifold and flexi pipe. A bad EGR or PCV could cause oil to leak onto the hot exhaust and create smoke
@@EddieEducation yeah that’s my thought. It did have a oil and coolant leak that I did just pay to get fixed but apparently not completely. Will start smoking after only a few driving. Thank you so much for the help you’re a saint.
Can you make a video on the ccv system? Can’t seem to find much online. Mine is an 05 Passat tdi engine code bhw. But yours in the video looks identical
Hi Eddie on a 1.9tdi bxe I've got black smoke stand still if I rev engine past 3000 revs puffs black smoke.... no codes still worth a try changing fuel temperature sensor?
@@shakeeloniel8891a little black smoke at 3000rpm is normal, but if you get black smoke at standstill at all temperatures, that's more likely to be a more serious issue (turbo or injectors). The best thing to do is use a VCDS to diagnose it, but if that's not available, check when on the temp range you get the issue. If it's between cold and operating temp, it's likely to be the sensor.
Hi Eddie, Thank you for this video, this is just the same issue I have. Do you have the link for the instructional video that you found on TH-cam ? I've looked for it in the comments, but cant find it. Cheers
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/6cTjO541yGU/w-d-xo.html If you use this technique, but on the location you can see in my video, it should work. Let me know how you get on
@@EddieEducation Hi, thank you and have just received the part from AutoDoc Germany. Will let you know how I get on. Should be easy, as I’ve restored my Mk4 TDI as it’s such a great car. Many thanks once again 👍
you checked the fuel sensor with vcds? you had any error on that sensor? i am asking you , because i have blue smoke at idle when its colder outside., but i have no error, and the sensor indicates the fuel temperature..but i am thinking , maybe it is decalibrated.
Is yours a PD motor? If so, there doesn't seem to be any error code that gets thrown by dodgy fuel temperature sensors on these. Do you get the blue smoke as soon as you start up, and does it go away once its up to temperature?
@@EddieEducation hello, i get blue smoke when the car is on temperature when idle, cold no smoke nothing. No powerloss no strange sound. What can it be?
@@johanja3091 Blue smoke when cold is often worn piston rings, blue smoke all the time is often valves. But not when cold, only when hot - that's odd. I'd start by changing the temperature sensor as it's the cheapest fix! It could be a worn out turbo, too - letting oil seep past when it's not active. Does your turbo make a lot of noise? Then, I'd check ignition timings and valves if there's no improvement. Something else to check - is your oil level too high? It could be burning that off that is causing the smoke, but that's normally throughout the rev range
@@EddieEducation this morning had a hard start and some knocking in the engine, but when it started it was all fine. No turbo noise nothing and no powerloss at all. No fault codes nothing. 1.9 tdi 96kw BLT, I personally think the seals on injectors are worn out is this possible?
@@johanja3091 could well be injector seals, or valves if there was a knocking sound. Sounds like something is loose somewhere, and not sealing the way it should do
Yesaccording to Eddie! Nice mate. Got a PD In my 05 audi Sline bomb proof mate. Looks like you've got the pd130 one of the best of the bunch You've gained a sub
@@bencrosbie there's definitely an issue there. White smoke is often coolant burning, grey is fuel, and blue is oil...but it can be hard to say if it's only lightly smoking. Have you had your engine remapped? And what is the engine temperature like (and has it ever overheated?)
@@EddieEducation yeah its only mapped to 145 but never touched for a few years till the first turbo started passing oil through the exhaust and plubes of white smoke through the exhaust and bought a second hand one all fixed for the first couple of weeks then got another one and changed again and again so ive a collection of leaky turbos even replaced the cartridge but couldn’t hit boost and not sure where to clock the vnt. il nit sure about the temps but it never passed 90 degrees anyways ill get a gasket tester but chances are the engine is just blowing turbos. might need a restrictor or a big fat oil drain or something but it cant be normal it didn’t used to at the start scratching my head. I can send a turbo for a rebuild but could end up with the same result. am using factory pipes amd 5w30 oil
@@bencrosbie Was it originally a 130 or a 105? And a) what grade of 5w30 oil have you been using (e.g. 502, 504), and b) how often have you changed it?
@@EddieEducation it was originally 100 engine swapped to 130 before I had it and its fitted with the gt1749va so its a 130 turbo the original engine was destroyed as the car was lowered and the sump was destroyed but the ecu is the original 100 slightly remapped
@@bencrosbie if it were my car, I'd get it on a dyno. It sounds like there's enough variables in the engine management which could be causing this, and in my 'umble opinion there's no point trying to fix other issues until those issues are ironed out.
Hi, I have an TDI New Beetle 1998, 1,9, and have the smoke problem but more to it, it has no power, it works like a regular diesel engine, any one who could help solve this problem with the power in the engine, thanks so much
@@infocusproducciones3595the new Beetle is essentially a Golf under the bonnet. The loss of power sounds like the turbo is in limp mode. If it's smoking as well it may be a turbo hose leaking if you're lucky, or that the turbo has failed if you're not. I would check for fault codes on a VAG-COM device to diagnose the issue further.
White smoke isn't a great sign. With luck, it could be oil from the engine build burning off if it was a really new engine or rebuild. Otherwise, it may be coolant burning if the head wasn't torqued correctly.
Hi, I have a problem with my 1.9 tdi bew 04 jetta. When I go full throttle around 2700 rpm it jerks and smokes. Could it have to do with this sensor? There are no error codes. Thanks!
That sounds like it may be linked to a turbo issue rather than the smoke. This sensor wont affect performance in that rev range. I would start by checking your turbo hoses for air leaks, and work from there
How do you change pvc valve on passat tdi 2002 avf engine code looks like to me have to get new rocker cover only aak cause am getting oil in my intake any help would ne appreciated
Hello i have a passat 1.9 t(di) 2001 Its a bit rough after the oil change smoke and pressure from the oil cap and a bit noisy Is this thing normal ?

I get blue smoke only on startup only when cold, it also hard cranks. When it's warm outside everything is fine. Makes me think it's a timing issue Edit Continue watching hmmm sounds like that could be it too

I'd not be confident to diagnose without seeing it, I'm afraid
If it's only when cold, it could be the engine compensating for the temperature - but I wouldn't be confident to diagnose it without seeing the smoke
That sounds like Turbo seals
It gives similar symptoms, certainly. The main identifying factor is the fact that it's not a problem when dead cold, only cool.
