Hi all, i have an issue now i cant seem to get to the bottom of and ill describe what ive done and what happens.

Ive done an engine service including oil air pollen and fuel filter and changed antifreeze. I filled the filter with diesel magic and fitted an inline hand primer on 9.5mm ID hose from the filter marked (out) to the banjo bolt on the pump which appears to have the leak off pipe going to it.

after priming the start up was fine and it idles then nearly stalls pulsing revs up and down by itself untill warmed up but never runs right.

On the test run for 6 miles it never really had any power and a strong smell of burning coming up between the turbo and engine with small black specks all over the place. i only have p1590 on fault codes but voltage on load is 14v.

i cant see anything obvious that can be causing this smell of burning rubber and or explain where these tiny black speckles are coming from.

now my dash display has gone all yellow grid and wont display anything and my climate has decided not to stop blowing at medium speed regardless of temperature selection.

What the hell is my car doing as its driving me mental at this point

Just an additional i mentioned on another thread.

After sorting the glow plug issue and cleaned out egr and i did a compression test and all cylinders are within 370 to 400 psi, i applied 1 bar of pressure up the vacuum hoses and only hiss i could hear was on the little valve on the end of the inlet manifold which i think does the flaps but im left with the rubbish running issue.

Does the drive belt have any signs of damage?

Belt looks fine and stable running when the engine actually starts to settle down. the tiny bits of rubber seems to pop up between the inlet and exhaust half's of the turbo and landed on the rocker cover as well

Hi mate. Don't know if you got to the bottom of the rubber particles, but check your crank pulley. Mine had a smell of burning rubber as the pulley rubber damper piece fell apart.
