Anyone do this lately? I,ve got A black smoke problem. Changed the intercooler and the egr but still have black smoke.wonder if this will work for me?

Just had another guy look at it and he said it could be worn lubes on the camshaft. Does this make any sence with the problem i,m having?

I was told there was 45,000 on it And the reason was it was held uo in an insurance claim,but as soon as I heard it running it sounded a lot older.1.9 2007 bsv by the way.

Hi folks, I changed my engine in December and it been running realy badly ever since. I,ve been back to the guy at least 2 or 3 times a week and I,m getting fobbed off. The tandem pump went a few weeks ago and it leaked diesel into the sump,the guy who put in the engine said he used my pump on the new engine so it was my problem. In the end he repaced it with another 1 from the breakers yard .Have the car back a couple of weeks now and nothing but trouble with it since.Still had a bad smell of diesel in the cab so he put a new gasket between the pump and engine.Then a few days later it started leaking from the gasket at the back of the pump. The car still was running badly so he done a test and found 1 cylinder was missing and he put a injector in and said if was sorted. Theres no improvement I, Infact its worse puffing out thick black smoke even when parked and reving it . Went to a diffenent guy he said it was intercooler. So put in a new 1 and still the same.its loosing power as the black smoke gets bad and idles realy badly .I realy need to get it sorted as its a taxi and have missed so much work over it Any ideas??

Any1 got a link where to get 1 at a good price?

How did you get on wit it?

Is the brakelight switch anything to do with it I wonder?

@oh_superb.you where spot on. He took the tandem pump off and he said it was damaged. New one going in today and collecting the car 2 moro. Thanks again

Thanks for the reply,s so far guys.the mechanic is going to take a look at tandem/ vacum pump 2 moro and I will update any findings.sounds like my problem because I have had bad/rough idle, map fault code ,hard brakes,diesel in oil sump and bad starting even after changing glow plugs. So once again thanks again guys.

Thanks Danny for that. Lets hope its not that bad.can't believe my guy did,nt know abput that pump.

I think you may just have hit the nail on the head. Just read up on the tandem pump and it said it controls the brake vacum also. I did,nt put it in the above post but my brakes went hard at the same time and are still the same. Fair play to you for that suggestion. Next question where on the engine is that pump and how much is it to replace? Big thanks again.

@oh-superb. Thanks for your reply. I,m trying to get as many idea,s as possible to take to mechanic as suggestions.

Hi folks I have a 2007 superb 1.9 tdi BSV engine. A few days ago it sounded very loud so checked the oil level thinking it was low. Got a shock to see the oil was nearly 2 inchs above the full mark so drained off oil till it was at the correct level. I got 2.2 litres out of it and thought my mechanic had over filled it.checked it 2 hours later and then before midnight and again in the morning and it was at the right level.then did about 100 km and parked it for 3 hours,did,nt check it and drove back home again. I checked it after 20 mins and it was way back up the dipstick again at this stage I could smell diesel from the oil.then rang the guy who fitted the engine 2 months ago and he told me to bring it back. I changed the oil today and drove about 90 km to him and the level was ok. He swapped tHe injectors for 4 other one's from my old engine thinking that was the problem.I drove home checked the level and its way back up again.the mechanic has,nt a clue what's the problem and said he has to make a few calls to see if he can get more info.from the day he put the engine in it has had problems starting and it has been running very erraticaly. He changed the glowplugs 2 weeks ago and it made no improvment on the starting problem . Any ideas guys? Going mad here.thanks in advance.

should have said its a 2007 1.9 td .
