[Vwdiesel] OT, problem with a different diesel engine

[David Cook]

James, did you get any smoke with that intermittant
injector?  Did it make noise?  (And do you think that
it could/would only happen after a long time of
driving?  Mine won't unless it has been driven at
least an hour.)

I have never noticed much smoke behind 45, though when
a car is right behind me (with headlights on) and I am
trying to go full bore up a hill there will be a
little smoke visible in the headlights.  I've never
seen any during the daytime.  So, maybe the filter is
okay after all.

Hmmm...
