Diesel Black Smoke
Good evening all,
I am hoping someone can help me. I've have just come back from a weekend away & I have a very concerning issue. Driving down to Shuttleworth on Fri I had no issues, but today my car is down on power & pours black smoke on hard acceleration. I am presuming it will be intercooler/hose leak but otherwise I'm not sure what to look for. I have had the elbow pop off last summer and that is a completely different experience to today. The upper intercooler hose has been replaced with a silicon one, as has the O rings with vitons. I am very concerned as I had no issues friday but do now. Many thanks in advance, Rob

Down on power
Have you ever changed the PCV filter? If not this may be the cause of your problem. Fairly quick fix.

Thanks for the reply.
I didn't replace the pcv filter on the last service as it wasn't due, although I am, severely tempted just to rule it out. Rob

Hi Rob.
I would double check the O-rings or its connection as it sounds like that, also check the jubilee clips on the joints, start at the EGR and work your way down, looks for splits in the hose.

Thanks Arctic,
I shall check it out tomorrow, hopefully it'll be that. A nice reasonably easy fix. We'll maybe not easy! I'm reasonably sure it won't be the silicon intercooler hose, but you never know.

When the O rings fail it’s normally a lot of black smoke that you see in your rear view mirror

I would recommend getting a good second hand one from Mickeyboy. I’ve tried one of the eBay ones. Although the quality was excellent, the way the car drive was altered, slightly underpowered. I think it’s to do with different volumes of intercoolers. I have a nice shiney one sitting in the garage, getting in my way.🙄 See previous thread...

I think I shall pick up a 2nd hand one, unfortunately Mickyboy doesn't have any at the moment though.
Although I could put a couple of screws in the joint to hold it as Arctic suggested, I think a replacement would be better - I can give it a good clean before fitting it next week. Rob

Morning all,
I sourced a replacement intercooler which I fitted last night. I gave it a good clean Tuesday when it was delivered, it wasn't as bad as I feared fortunately. It is so nice to now be able to accelerate 7 to not be leaving a dense smoke screen behind me! Rob
