Sudden increase of fuel consumption

No further updates.. will be checked by a different mechanic tomorrow, I could have the ECU check next week in bury / manchester for what I was told.

Or do you know any?

In did is strange 40% more fuel and there is no smoke, what could it be? Only timing resistor?
the 2 fuel pump resistors effect the fuel and the timing,
from research GREY is timing and beige is fuel,
The higher the resistance, the more advanced the timing
Code 5 is invoked ONLY for the Fuel Resistor. (from someone's test: Timing resistor unplugged, the Check Light DID NOT come on)
The higher the resistance , the larger the fuel injection quantity

More suggestions??

More suggestions??

Yeah, stop shouting!

Have done what Meooo has suggested yet?

Are you 100% certain that is your fuel consumption?

Code 5 is invoked ONLY for the Fuel Resistor. (from someone's test: Timing resistor unplugged, the Check Light DID NOT come on)

Like I said before, what are YOUR codes? You're reading about 2.4 issues, the codes and ECD system is different on a 3.0

If you pull the codes and get a code 32 fault, replace the resistors, easy.

Don't make it overly complicated by trying to alter things that maybe fine.

Very basically deisel engines work like this..

Timing advanced = black smoke, knocking and ruined bearings
Timing retarded = no power

Fuel load increased = black smoke, high engine temps, high MPG and melted pistons.
Fuel load decreased = no power

If its running fine, then there can't be to much wrong, if you don't have any fault codes then I'd get the compression tested, to make sure engine is sound, then a set of recon injectors.
You can check the resistor with a multimeter in no time, and rule them out for sure if you don't trust the ECU.

If you need a garage, go to the engine company in Stockport. Ask for Steve.

Far easier to do a proper fuel consumption test first....provided you can still get the fuel of course...

Yeah, stop shouting!

lol

thanks again,

shokenore, meooo
yes the reading is accurate refilling more times referring to KM / litres not £
- there is a big difference

I am sorry on my messages the error code refer to postings for different engines and I did not test the ECU yet.

I also bet I will not get any error codes if the fault is on the gray pump resistor (timing)
I thank you for your wise advice! really appreciate, agree and will keep the original settings

test the resistor in question (gray) checking the resistor with a multimeter - good the idea

injectors, may be an idea if there is no fault (even if strange there is no smoke)
Compression yes also worth checking I hope is not the gasket or other but really performances are as good as before and no smoke

..Maybe there is a hole in or close to the tank?

Sancho I may go to stockport too, ty

Have you checked the oil level yet?

[BUSHWHACKER]

And whats with the large text all the time?

It just makes people think you're a cock!

[meooo]

Have you checked the oil level yet?

Was going to be my next question....

[Wolfracer]

And whats with the large text all the time?

He's hard of hearing.

[Overland Tonka]

He's hard of hearing.

Or bad eyesight...

Was going to be my next question....

Yep oil and filters are okay, ty for checking

sorry if is large
