Thread: Disco 2 TD5 Black smoke

Never seen injectors seized but its possible.
Check turbo hoses they can delaminate

I don't think any one does recon injector for TD5, But could be wrong

Might be worth checking the ExhaustGasRecirculation valve. I had similar symtems on a VW Transporter with the 5 cyl Audi motor. All the experts suggested I replace injectors. Fortunatly I tried blocking the ERG actuator supply pipe off and this stopped all the black smoke.

Its especially bad when you put your foot down and the revs get up around 3500rpm +. I dont get many motorbikes staying behind me for very long!!

I've enquired about recon injectors but most places I called ran for cover and said they dont touch them!!! Due to the injectors possibly being seized in the aluminum head.

I'm going to check the basics this weekend, turbo, filter etc but any "inside" knowledge and pointers would be greatly appreciated.

has it been chipped?

Yea it has been chipped. Was done by the previous owner for around $600 by a landrover dealer. Not sure what make of chip it is.

Cheers guys

Im going to get one of those EGR blank off kits and try that, disconnect the MAF sensor and check the intercooler hoses....maybe even put some nice silcone ones on.

Black smoke is what chips do when they are turned up too much.

mine has a chip and it smokes like a basterd. when you open it up to 3-3500 in ither 3rd or 4th gear it just goes off like a basterd. it will make any car back off. but again it makes it thursty. last tank around town driving hard was aprox 16L per 100 and again the previous owner bought the chip and am unsure what brand it was.
