Hi Andy

HI TOM

I use BP as i know that the supermarkets are not as clean.

I have put some STP injector cleaner through it and then went to lincoln which is about 280 miles round trip from me but it didnt seam to make too much diffrence. It is doing about 43 mpg around town and about 52 mpgs on the motorway.

Its just that when I remove the vaccume pipe it stops smoking which is odd? but it is using oil so I am a bit stuck on what to do any ideas ?????

thanks Andy

Hi Andy

only info i have for this is EGR valve sticking, causing excessive black smoke on acceleration.

ALL MODELS FROM 2003 onwards, also mentions Excessive diesel knock.

remedy given is fit MODIFIED EGR valve.

thats all i have

if you have put a new egr valve on it should have been the modified one supplied, if the car is using oil and the smoke is when the turbo kicks in it could be the turbo oil seals that are starting to wear.

DOS ANYONE KNOW WERE TO GET ONE AND HOW MUCH ARE? AND WHAT IS THE MODIFICATION?

THANKS ANDY

Hi Andy

i would check with the dealer who sold it to you, also check at your local ford dealers.

they normally have a technical department & can be quite helpful sometimes if you get the right person.
