Hi All

I running a 2.5 n/a diesel engine seams to be in fairly good condition no leaks etc

When i am on full throttle in (any gear) there is a constant stream of a blue to black smoke coming out (on tick over there is hardy anything )

Should i just put this down to just being a old diesel engine, or can anyone give me some advice on what could be the problem and how i could solve it eg injectors maybe ??


Many thanks all

New air filter and run some injector cleaner through it. If it's still bad, could be a bit more serious.

Could be your injection timing out. Try backing off the fuelling and see if the smoke dies down. If the power goes down a lot, this could be it. Pos is the chap to speak to about this...

Blue smoke is usually burnt oil, Black is usually unburnt fuel
