Black smoke at low RPM
Hi Chaps,

I have a TD5 with re-map, boost box, intercooler, egr, exhaust and pipes. After about 3 or 4 miuntes of driving blake smoke comes out of the exhaust at low RPM and clears when the RPM builds. If I switch the engine off and then back on again it clears up for 5 or so minutes then the same thing happens.

Performance does not seem effected at all.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks Bish

Has the car always been like this since the tuning ?
Who did the tuning ?
Which filling station do you fill up at ?
Have you had any diagnostics done ?

Hi
I think the first port of call is a diagnostic chq to make sure all seems in order with the electronics side of things.

This may point you in the direction of a fault if there is one,i take it was doing this same thing before it was modifyed and tuned ?

Regards Pete

Nope, not even a puff of smoke beforebeing tuned.

I will go and slap her on the diagnostic and see what comes up.

May be the tuning has done this !

Did you get the tuning done via mail or did you take the car and have the work done ??
