Black Exhaust

[crawal]

Towing the camper today suddenly lost power and belching black smoke
Not the turbo hose as the first thing I checked
I have soot around the throttle body (egr blocked )
Any further ideas am going to check the clamps

Thanks
Craig

You’ve probably split the throttle body. It’s common. It splits where the Y inlet meets the throttle section.

Many thanks was going to pull it apart tomorrow night

Intercooler is also known to split which is hard to diagnose.

Any leak between the MAF and the intake Y piece should be relatively simple to prove with engine data logging, but a little harder to find.

Considering the telltale black at the throttle body as indicated in the first post is a good starting point

Considering the telltale black at the throttle body as indicated in the first post is a good starting pointFor sure.

I think my point is still valid or have I missed something?

Well done to those who suggested the throttle body 15mm hole under neath the lh egr line.
Swapped it night and forgot to reset the codes now wont pull under 3000 rpm

Any ideas ?

Many thanks to all the suggestions

Did you plug all the sensors back in?

[crawal]

all plugs checked , I got all codes cleared but still running slow up to 3000 rpm ,no pulling power at all [bigsad]

Checked manifolds as well ?

Also, the o ring that seats in the throttle body to intake 90deg bend is hard to seat correctly, and the plastic of that bend piece (that holds the MAP) also fails there, leading to cracks thst open under boost, you lose pressure etc.

Replace the 90 deg intake part with genuine is the only option there.

Have you worked-out what caused the hole? Is an EGR valve leaking badly under load when it should be closed thereby causing hot exhaust to melt the hole?

Well done Graeme took the disco to my Indi, marvelous fella found the EGR valve broken and losing boost . new/old Egr and a blanking plate fitted all fixed again

Thank you to all that contributed to my post
