went away for my birthday to venice - the `bus` was parked up for 5 days at southend longstay - came back and great , she started first time BUT , accelerating up the A road , I was laying down a smoke screen! power was still there , but my gosh it was smokey!

mot last week (a pass) , came back with smoke test of 1.3 as well.


so - help!

Thats an easy one IF its a HDi 110.... So.. Is she a HDi 110??

Check the intercooler pipe just before it goes into the inlet manifold. They split on the under side alawing the Measured Boost'd are to escape an so the ECU turns the fuel up, but the air has escaped so the result is black smoke..

aha!


sadly not an HDi - tis a 1.9TD

SAME Applies!!

Your loosing Boost into the engine ! Check ALL intercooler pipes carefully!

Was it dark, and were you seeing it in the lights of following car - this can make even the 'cleanest' '1.9TD look like it is chucking huge clouds out!

it was BUT - I can also see it in daylight and the mot smoke test was 1.3 where a fail is at 1.5
