hi guys i have an issue with my car the engine is smoking, smells like burning and there is a weird noise im assuming the car is done but id just like some confirmation lol thank you here is a vid of for refderence.
sorry yes its a diesel... i have also been having some issues with the clutch it sticks now and again and i gmhave to try a few times ro get it into first. could this be related? not working for few days now so gna book it into garage tmo thanksOne of the injector seals is probably leaking, lift up the engine cover and see if the smoke is coming out of the injectors. I'm assuming yours is a diesel?
ok thanks, just took engine cpver offand there was a broken peice of plast right next to one of injectors and yes the smoke is coming out og thereNo, the injector seal is just a copper washer that seals the base of the injector, it's just one of those things that fail nothing to do with anti freeze.
Leaving it longer will make it worse and harder to remove as it will cause a carbon build up, aka black death. (Well it does with Mercedes)
