Technical Ducato 2.3 Injector Coding

[bugsymike]

I'm suspecting that the main problem was something related to the injection applied, more fuel than the needed were being injected and that caused the white smoke.

Excess fuel in relation to air/oxygen on diesels usually results in black smoke under load.
Strangely it was a question a Bosch diesel instructor asked at a demonstration for motor engineers looking to buy their later bit of kit, I thought it funny that as the oldest and retired engineer there after waiting to see who else would answer in vain, I told them it, but probably the only person unlikely to buy their expensive tool.
The question "What causes black smoke in diesels" my answer "too much fuel or not enough oxygen", so overfuelling or loss of boost pressure.

Hi.

I was able to code injectors using an old KKL cable that I use for mi triumph, so chinnese ELM327 not able to code injectors even removing de resistor between CAN_H and CAN_L. Just for information in case someone need to do the same, also no adaptor, yellow cable or whatever, just with the ODB adapter.

That is interesting, ELM protocol is universal, if it's well implemented on MES should work as KKL, may be MES bug o your ELM has rare firmware (best are 1.4 and 2.2-2.3 with 25k80 PIC USB more stable than BT-WiFi)

Finally I was able to drive it, the test went well. Just a strange noise coming from the flywheel like a buzzing, maybe is not that strange and I am extremely aware of noises right now.
Only issue seems to be a minor oil leak coming from the cover of the timing belt, I guess is coming from the cranksahft retainer. I'm leaving it this way for now because to much work dismantling the timil belt again.

Are you sure the noise is from flywheel end and not cambelt end!!!!

Yes I have heard it from below the engine. Am I supposed to be worried about a noise coming from the cambelt side ?

Only when it stops suddenly along with the engine.
