Hello All,


I've a problem with my 06 Ford Connect TDCI and need some help. Over a few days engine became only slightly harder to start than normal in the mornings and engine performance became sluggish. The van then suffered a severe lack of power, as if running on 2 or 3 cylinders and became very jerky as if it was being switched on and off. Now, it will not start - it tries to start but cuts immediately and a cloud of white smoke is emitted from the exhaust. I've already changed the fuel filter using the same method that has always proved successful. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
