sensors and still it smokes badly on start up from cold after 5 minutes it all goes clear, when i accelerate it dosnt miss a beat but when i try to cruise at any speed it starts to miss fire and blue smoke appears,and there are no hose leaks
as ive checked that first.
Did you fit new injectors? If not, they could still be to blame as a lot of reconditioned ones aren't what they claim to be. Are they also 100% correctly coded? Could also be the Inlet Metering Valve on the back of the fuel pump, or an issue with the Fuel Pressure Regulator in the fuel rail... Or if all those parts are fine, then it could be a bent rod - Has the car ever gone through deep water?
I had a 2.0TDCi and with brand new injectors, new pump, new IMV, new FPR, new turbo, EGR removed, everything cleaned and silicone boost hoses it still chucked out smoke on start-up!
Either live with it, or move the car on - Believe me, you'll risk spending more than the car's worth trying to fix it, and you may never get to the actual cause.
