I have just brought a cheap runaround 2008 fiesta 1.4tdci, I knew that injector No.1 was leaking due to the copper seal failing, the price I paid reflected this.
I went ahead and removed all four injectors taking care not to touch the tips and carefully clean all the carbon muck off around the injector, I plugged the Intake and injector holes, covered the injector fuel lines, and used a hoover to suck up all the dirt.
On start up the car immediately black smoked and stinks, also lack of power, occasional chugging as if its miss firing, and seriously down on power.
Just had a £5000 scanner check for codes and there are none, so any ideas folks?
Previously the car drove fine just had the occasional stutter on high loading, but no smoke at all or smell.
Many thanks
