iveco 4x4 advice wanted - thanks!
Hello, i have recently purchased an iveco 4x4 panel van swb. Whenever i cold start it, it belows out whitish smoke (and i mean bellows - cloud like, wafts down the road and people stop and stare!!)
Its fine after about 5 minutes, and is also fine if its a warm start.
It passed its MOT on emmissions.
I have heard it may be the timing chain?
A friend had a similar problem and spent vast sums of cash whilst the garage checked all options, eventually realising it was the timing chain tensioners??
Does anyone have any experience of this? and does it sound like a timing chain tensioner issue? Or if not, what else could it be?
Would like to have an idea, if anyone has experience of this, as many garages are apparently not that used to these vehicles, and may spend hours investigating a relatvley straight forward problem.
(its had new injectors and new fuel filter)
Many thanks in advance if anyone can help....
