#1: HDI Smoking Author: Reflekt., Location: South WalesPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:21 pm ---- Hi guys, not long bought a 2.0 HDi, ive notaced quite a bit of black smoke coming out of the exhaust just as the turbo kicks in is this normal?
I know there's gonna be smoke with it being a derv but surely not as much as im getting?
Its hard to explain but if im cruising down the motorway at about 2k revs there's a slight hesitation before the turbo kicks in and thats when i get quite a bit of smoke out the back, not alot but its noticable!
Just wondering if anybody could shed a bit of light on this or some solutions to it?
Thanks in advance.

#3: Re: HDI Smoking Author: Reflekt., Location: South WalesPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:28 pm ---- Totally standard, 140k with full service history

Try running some shell v-power or the BP premium fuel through it to clean up the internals a bit
#5: Re: HDI Smoking Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:34 pm ---- Could be CAT or signs of Turbo failure.
#6: Re: HDI Smoking Author: Reflekt., Location: South WalesPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:42 pm ---- Was wondering about the turbo, is that the only tell tale signs of turbo failure?
Im going to get some of that derv cleaner redX stuff see if that works.
If i de-catted it, would it smoke alot then? as that was on the cards anyway
#7: Re: HDI Smoking Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:47 pm ---- Removing the cat should make much of a difference to the amount of smoke if everything else is healthy, instead of redex i would just stick in some premium fuel as that has the same additives and its pretty good stuff
I would also check along the air intake system for leaks and make sure the air filter is half decent, and check along the piping after the turbo for leaks

EDIT: re-read your post... not sure on the delay with the turbo though, mine doesn't do that :\

Check all pipes under the bonnet
#10: Re: HDI Smoking Author: Reflekt., Location: South WalesPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 2:45 pm ---- cheers guys ill get under the bonnet on the weekend and have a snoop around!
#11: Re: HDI Smoking Author: Reflekt., Location: South WalesPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 3:14 pm ---- Also, while im on a roll...
When the turbo kicks in the car pulls quite badly to the left, then corrects itself when i take my foot off?
You need to man up, it's not that strong on a 2.0HDi
