    Blowing black smoke on TD5 2

    I have a 2000 series 11 TD5.
    I notice at night particularly in the rear veiw mirror that when I accelerate thru the gears there is a quantity of black smoke from the exhaust.

    Not a huge cloud but enough to be annoying and people to pass comment.

    What can cause this.

    I have ben putting injector clean in each tank of deisel for a number of months but has not improved.

    Any thoughts would be welcomed.

    How old are your intercooler hoses? Sometimes the original rubber hoses can delaminate on the inside, and cause a blockage when the turbo. gets going. The remedy for that seems to be silicon hoses.[assuming you don't have them already]. Bob

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Diesel smoke always looks worse at night but as bob said I'd be doing the hoses and filters first. Pat

    And if the hoses and filters do not solve the problem look at your injectors.
