Gazzi c Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hi all my sister has also got a gen 7 140 on a y reg and it has started to lose water doesn't seem like it's coming from the rad so I am guessing it's the pump any ideas roughly how much it would cost her to supply and fit one also there was blac smoke coming from exhaust when revved hard is that normal?

ams Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 black or blue smoke? black is normally over-fueling, - any warning lights on? blue would be oil - sometimes hard to see the diff water leak - check down the bottom of the rad - feel if its wet - not easy to see it on the 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsmith79 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hold a piece of cardboard or something behind the car and rev it so the smoke hits the card, then feel if the card is oily or not, that way you can tell it it's oil or not Over fueling will feel sooty, oil will feel oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzi c Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Ita defiantly black smoke only puffs of it when revved hard no eml on bottom of rad seemed a little wet in bottom corner but most of the water seemed to be coming from further back in the engine from where the pulleys are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 hmm black smoke would indicate fuel problem - O2 sensor or maybe MAF - clean the MAF and see it it goes - any vaccum pipes off anywhere? Any mods on the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ams Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 If its not been serviced for a while could be a dirty air filter or worn out plugs - but ive had really worn plugs on the 7 without any issues - so they'd both have top be pretty bad - but worth checking.
