Symptoms.
1. Engine knocking on cold start but clears up after a 5 minute drive.
2. A fairly small amount of white smoke that smells burnt on the first start of the day (It's not vapour)
3. Sometimes it drives and pulls like a train (mainly at the start of the journey but not always) and other times it will judder in 4th and 5th and gain no speed. I have to pulse the acceleration to get home or drive in 3rd.
4. The van is very inconsistent in speed and power even when it doesn't judder. Sometime I can floor it in 4th and nothing happens but other times it will go as it should.
5. 9 out of 10 times the engine does this big shake when I switch the ignition off.
6. The Speedo and Milometer work intermittently and half the time when they turn on and off the radio volume changes gos down if they are not working and back up if the Speedo/Milometer comes back on. Could this possible be related to the other symptoms?
7. Sometime the wireless key locks and unlocks the van. More often than not it doesn't.
8. 95% of the time when I relase the accelerator it judders as if I'm a bad driver. 5% of the time it doesn't and it almost feels like there's a slight delay in the action.
No trouble starting the van but I'm so fed up with it. I've changed the crankshaft sensor, glow plugs, fuel filter, MAS... The injectors pass my screwdriver to the ear test and my leak off test results, although pretty rubbish didn't point me to any specific injector. I can't do a compression test but surely it would run pants all the time anyway? Has anyone got any ideas? Is it just possessed?
