Hi All

I have a ducato 130 multijet 14 plate 68k miles. I'm currently converting to a camper van. It's probably only done 160miles since I bought it 3 months ago. Went out in it yesterday and at about 40 miles coming off the slip road changed gear and when revs applied a couple of puffs of blue smoke and a little judder. All ok again. Then coming back today same again about 40 miles changed from 6th to 5th judder and blue smoke. This time eml came on and limp mode kicked it. Stood for 5 minutes eml still on but no limp mode. Got home about 6 miles latter.

Any ideas of what could be causing it? Maybe needs a good run at higher revs but don't want to risk anything. Hope someone can help.

I would suggest getting an OBD2 reader and finding out what the ECU says as a very first step.

Yes cheers done that today got p0089 fuel pressure regulator performance. Any thoughts. Cheers folks

Have you tried a new fuel filter?

Ordering one today. Seems to be the cheapest first option.

Well got the fuel filter for my reg plate. Looks the same but the sensor rod doesn't go far enough in so can't screw in. Any thoughts/part numbers for a 2014 year? It's a full metal housed one rather than a filter in a plastic housing.


Cheers

I now seem to think it’s white smoke then a tiny bit of Blue

Had the full service about a mongth 1/2 ago + injector cleaner.

Been out a few times had limp mode last weekend from se symptoms. Checked on reader got p2085 and p2085-11. Exhaust temp gas sensor intermittent

If this could be related to the smoke what do I need to look out for? Would this sensor failing give me the smoke, where should I be looking exactly?

Thanks in advance

Its usually downstream of the cat. Very inhospitable environment for sensors and wiring so could easily be genuine fault. Clear it and see how long it takes to come back if it comes back immediately check the resistance of the sensor. I'd expect the ecu to reduce injection on a get temp fault rather than produce smoke though. If you solve sensor issue and problem remains I'd be checking the other common issues - damaged loom, water ingress in throttle valve, ingress in fuse box and ecu connector.

We had similar problem with white /blue smoke coming out of the exhaust while coming over the Alos this summer. EML eventually came on with P2085 warning. Stopped, checked things then cleared the error. Been OK since. Got home, checked sensors etc and all OK.

(Water ingress probs fixed a few years ago for fuse box water ingress).

So ecu didn't correctly reduce injection on exhaust over temp.
