Smoking and loss of power

[Laskey's]

Hi looking for help

My diesel bongo has just started smoking white smoke when revved at about 2000rpm and the engine judders, when driven there is plenty of revving but a distinct lack of power and struggles to accelerate.

any help please

Could be a blocked fuel filter or banjo filter.

is the expansion water /coolant tank up to the correct level when cold.

Hi looking for help

My diesel bongo has just started smoking

I'd sit him down and give him a talk. Something along the lines of "I started smoking at the age of 14, but I never had a proper girlfriend until my mid-twenties. It was because I stunk of fags all the time. It could happen to you too. Just because your friends smoke it doesn't mean it's cool. In fact it proves you are a big man if you can stop. Plus look at all the money you will save."

too much water in your red diesel

changed the fuel filter and cleaned out the Banjo a couple of hours ago, problem sorted! drives like a dream again, the Banjo filter was full of small rubber pieces can only guess that a few months ago I had a fuel leak and the seal in the fuel pump were replaced this must be pieces of the old seals

Again many thanks for your help
