No codes on an L322 means one thing. Your diagnostics is fooked

So took it out on Friday for an hour, came back and filled it up with fresh v power diesel ( was still about 1/4tank) still black smoke
Took it to Crawley and back today and just gentle acceleration and there's loads of black smoke (but sometimes there's none)
I had a look under the bonnet and couldn't see any split pipes (not 100% sure on where I'm looking)

Any other input?

Yer!

2 turbos check both pipes.

They split, very very common.

Usually on a place you can't see!

IE on the bottom!!

Also worth checking the clips that secure them!!

Happy hunting!!

OK cool, is the other pipe in the opposite location to the one shown, are they easy to remove?

Getting dirty is mandatory with an ole' TDv8

Hopefully it's a simple split pipe

I do hope so, when my missus looses faith in a car, that's the end of it

So had a feel today and hurrah found a 2"split in the right side pipe
So I now have a couple of questions pls
The right pipe was really soft but split
The left pipe is almost rock hard
shall I replace both?
They look fairly easy to fit, are they (im OK with a spanner)
OEM or brit part?

 

[Mark Piercy]

I would examine the other pipe as best as possible and decide from there. I not sure if there are silicone versions of these yet?
your call based on your findings.
