flocks Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 hi all i have noticed the last few weeks that there has been a lot of black smoke coming from the exhaust but mostly when going up hill, but the last two days it seems to be constant as long as i am accelerating. any ideas what could be the cause and possible cures many thanks in advance paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 someones secretly played with your fuel pump. personally i like it. black smoke is good . serious note, has anyone been under the bonnet? garage, mate? it could be a blocked air filter. less air in the mix so less full combustion = exess diesel smoke. or a air hose collapsing under turbo load.

flocks Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 hi mate nobody has messed about with the pump well not that i am aware of anyway, and the air filter is brand new it was fitted last week to try a fix the problem, does this meen that my pump is knackered. paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 check the intake pipes, get a mate to rev it etc to see if you can see any pipes collapsing. on a 200tdi normally when in boost the top hose should feel like a bycycle tyre ie. hard to squeese but can a bit. i dont know what youre engine is though (if its a petrol id be very very worried ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
