duluxdoggy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 hi, i bought my mk3 mondeo 2.0 tdci 130 about 2 months ago, people keep telling me as i power away from em there is a LOT of black coming out of the exhaust. mainly at low revs it would seem, im told these have injector issues, regularly needing replacement costing a lot. this is not rly an option, i have been advised to get some redex, anyone any experience of this? and will the redex make much difference?

stooge75 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 could be tho,but maybe a split hose/pipe.have a look. if you're going to add anything,try Forte injector cleaner. redex is crap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegtuk Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Check your air hoses for splits especialy the one coming up from the intercooler to the egr, then clean your egr out. If those two dont fix it then blank your egr and see if that works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlenPonPon Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 may be the filter in the exhaust, this can get clogged up if you dont do alot of high rev driving. all you would need to do is run in along a motor way at high revs, id suggest 55mph in 4th maybe 3rd gear, as youd want to be in the slow lane because it blows all the crap out the filter. only a suggestion and worth a try, could be a cheap quick fix. worked on my 09 diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicam49 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Check /replace air filter 1st job. Some say blanking the egr cures smoke level.. £3 on eBay for a plate tho' will eventually put on eml on later cars. But shld be enough to get thro' mot. Thoroughly check boost pipes for splits. If any tell-tale signs of oil on or around them this is a clue that there's a split. Get injectors tested by a proper diesel specialist. (not a garage) To cut costs remove and refit them yourself. Then it's approx £12+vat each. Price of refurbed injectors has come right down recently, check out pfjones ad on the net or ebay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
