I drive a VW T5 kombi 1.9 2009 model. Engine was redone after the top cylinder cracked due to a Cambelt failure. When I start car white smoke comes out from the pipe and has burning sensation in my eyes. It soon disappears after a while.
When driving it turns to loose power and start shaking. I then switch off engine and start again. I put the injector cleaner in the diesel tank and the issue continues. I checked and cleaned the EGR valve. The car chows a lot of diesel when driving.
The diagnostic machine does not give any errors. What could be the issue and where can I take the car to for assistance?

Re: VW T5 Kombi
Was cam and diesel pump alignment done? Does it lack power?

Re: VW T5 Kombi
Cpossible timing issue or one of thensensors like water temp not plugged in/dead. Of course you give a location it will be a lot easier to refer you to somebody.

Re: VW T5 Kombi
I am located in the Randburg/Fourways area. Many people also suspects timing but also injectors as well which might be due to the sensors. I will update forum once this has been checked. It does lack power.

Re: VW T5 Kombi
Problem sorted. Injector seals changed. Timing sorted. No more smoke or misfire. Have been advised to change the injector harness soon. Thank you guys.
