I bought a 03 e46 320d with a blown turbo, i got the turbo refurb an all new filters an oil, now i bought the car an couldnt start it due to turbo being gone, so now that iv it all built up it wont start, its pissing diesel out manifold? what would cause this? please help as i need the car going by the morrow even, cheers andrew

 

Injector failed ? Take all the soil pipes off and crank it over if one pisses fuel it's no good

 

would this also cause grey smoke aswel carlo? thanks for reply

 

Yes potentially.

Unburt diesel looks grey/white - so if it is overfueling, or the spray pattern is screwed it could easily do as described...

Yes mate it would sorry just remembered about this post , it definetly sounds like a injector fault , take the inlet manifold off and check all the swirl flaps are there thy come off destroying the engine , and can crush the tip of a injector
