im having problems with my 1700 ky diesel,it will only go up to 40mph,and smokes a lot on start up,when it gets warm it calms down a bit.there is a diesel leak from pump but dont want to payout a lot of money to get leak fixed if theres other problems,do these diesels have any common faults that i could look into first.will KY parts fit on a 1y engine as this may be my next option.all advice appreciated

what colour smoke, on start up and when warmed up.

where is the leak on the pump.

when where the oil and filters last changed?

check the timing...........http://vincewaldon.com/index.php?option ... &Itemid=28

If your pump is leaking it is probably dragging in air and that would cause loss of power and smoke.

smoke is grey or white not sure,pump leaks from the top of excellerator lever,and had new oil filter change last week.....

i do think that aleaking pump will cause problems,its being compression tested tomoz if it passes then may get pump dun,on a budget only got £400 to get van sorted and ready to drive anywhere else the wife will divorce me for spendin holiday money.

white smoke.. timing out (retarded) when was the timing belt last changed? head gasket leaking, if you have a nose like a blood hound the burning coolant will smell sweet or the oil will be milky looking, glow plugs u/s, faulty injectors and finally low compression. one more finally fuel return blocked.

if your getting your pump rebuilt/reconditioned £200 to £300. I just got a new bosch pump for my pug boxer, luckily euro car parts where having 25% off and with the exchange I got it for £300 this was the cheapest I could find, when I needed one.
