Rover 75 2.0 TD 2003 - Low power and blue smoke - Fixed #

Posted by Shane Gray on March 9, 2013, 11:44 am

Year of Manufacture *: 2003
Engine Size and Code *: 2.0 turbo diesel
( Optional ) Scanner Used: Mac tools

Hi,
Had this one in with no fault codes present on live data could see maf low so replaced with factor part which was no good so I got a Bosch one which cured the power and smoke.
However it's been 2 weeks now and customer has called me and said it,s smoking again but no loss of power .
Does the maf need programming on these? I think it's a BMW engine.

Would a faulty afm cause the blue smoke issue as thought that was normally a mechanical issue and burning oil.

Hi Shane

I would say the Turbo is a serious contender for interigation.

Also has this got the crankcase filter/ Cyclone filter as BMW call it. This may want checking out, this is a servicable item, and helps prolong the life of the turbo too

Hi thanks for replys.
I have checked turbo before and it's fine.
Think I will check egr and crank breather as suggested.
Can you get replacement filter from factors?
I think if maf was giving wrong reading then it's possible to have blue smoke .

I have only bought these filters from a main dealer. Can't remember if they were cheaper from landrover or bmw. I think on some it comes complete with housing.

Shane,

Do yourself a big favour and buy a genuine crankcase breather.

I had a freelander towed to me by the AA a few weeks ago that was diagnosed as a failed turbo. It was just the breather filter-easy to spot by the oil pumping out of the dipstick tube when dipstick removed. I fitted one from factor but was the same make as the one I removed. These need to be changed regularly.

I agree Alan,

We have done a few on rover 75,s and heaps on freelanders. The tell tale sign is the dipstick filling up and smoke. sometimes engine runaway,extra power. We have been using britpart filters complete with housing for about 4 or more years now and none have been a problem.
