Hi - Apologies as I seem to be hitting this forum a lot at present...but I am 3 days away from MOT and when I rev my TD4 through the gears it chucks out a fog of black smoke.......I checked all the intercooler hoses and they are spot on, (though one did pop off on Sunday, but it is now firmly in place) the Turbo is reasonabley new, there is no power loss, just the smoke, which increases in density as the revs build higher. The smoke output appears to lessen the longer the engine is running, as an example, when I set off from home on the cold engine, there is loads, like a fog. By the time I have done 10 miles or so there is significantly less. When I rev it once I get to work there is no smoke, just a smell (possibly unburnt fuel?). I have had the injector cleaner in it since Saturday and the car has never used a drop of engine oil. MPG is also reasonably good......any help much appreciated......Also...I have changed the old crankcase breather set up for the BMW centrefugal one (a while ago)..
