let the engine idle for few minutes as the it can auto bleed if still air in fuel system means that you have a split pipe somewhere or fuel pump tired ! | |

Thanks for the replies. I dont have any creamy milky residue on my oil cap its clean with the oil being black. It uses a little water and can become highly pressurised when the engine gets hot (is this normal). How would i get air out of the fuel system cossie? | |

From your description I think you have air in the fuel system or a fault fuel pump. Exhaust from the inlet could be a blocked breather or sticky piston ring due to was left unused. | |

If there is exhaust gas entering back into the inlet, then i would check the inlet manifold gasket, once the combustion has taken place, the gas could be forcing its way passed the gasket and back into the inlet. If it was headgasket, are you losing water? And is there a creamy colour in the oil filler cap? | |

Ok mate thanks for that info. Maybe its more serious then as i also opened the oil cap and there was steam/slight smoke coming from inside engine when i'd cranked it over a few times and tried to force it to rev by pressing the accelerator hard. I have my suspicions that the headgasket may well have gone, would that explain the exhaust fumes in the inlet? | |

From my knowledge the EGR system only works once the engine is upto temperature otherwise the exhaust gas going back into the engine could either be too hot or too cold, both having their problems. | |
