hi guys my p38 2.5 diesel Bmw engined car pumps black smoke out on start up and under hard acceleration so I’m thinking valve stem oil seals my question to yous is how difficult is this to do I’m a guy who can change starters alternater air suspension bags struts springs brake pads but by no stretch of the imagination could I say I’m a mechanic I love messing with my rangy and when I do a job and it starts again I’m on cloud 9 so guys is it something I could do or does it go into garage thanks in advance. Bob

When I think after the pump being done it stutters a but when at a stop like top of pump not on correctly could this be causing the smoke thanks

its still either cranking too much and so having excess fuel when it does start or too much fuel is been injected or not enough air

So thinking about what you said it could be the top of the injection pump hasn’t been put back in the correct position
