I have a problem with my Peugeot 406 that is probably BD induced.
I had been running it for a couple of months on B100 and it was running fine. Then I had to put it into my mechanic for a new radiator and a new AC compressor. Because I told him I was in no hurry, and he was having difficulty sourcing an AC compressor anyway, it was sitting there for about 4 months.
Now that I finally got it back (still sans AC compressor) the poor thing hardly runs. It starts ok and runs fine up until about 2500RPM and then it just starts running rough and blowing smoke out the back, which it never did before.
Any ideas what the problem may be? I have mostly run BD on Toyos, Mitsis and Mercs, so pugs are a bit of a mystery to me. The obvious thing to me is that the injectors are gummed up somehow, and they aren't atomising the fuel properly, hence the power loss and smoke.
Any ideas? Also, if this was the problem, how easy a fix would it be?
TIA
