Thanks for the advice, have changed the egr valve,cleaned out all the manifold ,had a full Terraclean system done on it changed all filters including the crankcase filter, but still getting some black smoke, would a diognostic machine show up any over fueling

Hi been on a couple of times with black smoke problem with my 04 Freelander, have tried some of the suggestions from other users but still have the same problem, i have changed air filter---fuel filter-egr valve--all intercooler hoses(to silicon)--had a full Terraclean on the whole system--turbo...

Yes thanks for that Seffy, just done that with a good spray, have allready put another engine in it a few months ago cos the turbo blew with deisel seeping into the sump so getting a bit paranoid at the mo although apart from that it runs well

Have had trouble with black smoke on my 04 Freelander, went by a lot of comments on this site that said change the intercooler hoses, i have done that and replaced them with silicon ones, but i found that the old ones were all wet with oil, can anyone come up with anything
