Hi all,
I just purchased an 86 Jetta turbo diesel from my neighbor for $800. He rebuilt the engine top to bottom, new injection pump, turbo, clutch, everything. The rings aren't even seated on the engine yet.
The car starts buts pours white smoke out of the exhaust until it's warm. Smells like unburnt diesel. In my experience with old OM617 Benz diesels this is either an injection pump timing issue or the injectors themselves. He replaced the injector nozzles however, did not have them pop tested or balanced.
Assuming he timed the pump correctly, I should be looking at injectors correct?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Curt
