Someone has suggested the timing belt might've slipped a tooth? What do you guys think?
Yeah its intriguing. You don't have a code reader I guess?
Jonnys is a good idea but I've never heard of HDi popping a headgasket. Probably be useful to check the oil and water, see if either has dropped....if waters dropped possibly HG, if oils dropped possible Turbo.
I'm wondering if it could be a stuck injector or similar though as white smoke is unburnt diesel, really would be useful to get the code though.
I haven't had any experience of a slipped belt so couldn't say. But its fairly easy to check the timing.
Fault reader is in the garage somewhere, will be able to have a look one night this week.
Will check the water and oil levels. How can I check the timing?
Personally I'd find the code reader asap. For the timing, take the timing belt covers off and see if the marks line up with the marks on the engine. I'm pretty sure the HDi has white painted timing marks but I've had a few cars now so I could be thinking of a different one.
