Escort 1-8 TDI 2000
I have been having a problem recently with white smoke,hesitation and rough idle from cold start until the engine heats up. I was thinking of getting the injectors cleaned. I notice in your advice blog that you advice the use of a sealing device, how much is this to rent or buy. How much are new injectors please?Do you think the injsctors are the problem as i notice that you wrote in another blog that it may be the injector pump timing. Any advice you have would be appreciated. Thanks.Laurence

Hi Laurence,
Firstly I do not believe that you should have an issue of reseating as this does not seem to be a problem with your model of vehicle. You can check if the injectors are leaking by pouring a mixture of soapy water around the injectors whilst the engine is running and check for a formation of bubbles.
Things for you to check are,
• The heater plugs working
• Insure that the fuel supply to the pump is good, no blockages or air ingress.
• Pump timing correct, try advancing slightly.
• Does the pump have a cold start advance unit on it and if so is it working.
• Engine compression low.
At this stage I do not think that by replacing the injectors it will help with this problem. Faulty injectors tend to cause black smoke on acceleration and poor fuel consumption.
Any other queries please come back to me.
Regards,
Keith
