smoke on acceleration 200tdi

(1/3) > >>

clairedave:
:? hello;ollie our 200tdi has a full length intercooler,K&N filter, snorkel and no middle box for performance;is very quick off the mark;but on acceleration kicks out a lot of black smoke! dont know wether the waste gate has been adjusted before we had him or not? Doing 280 miles to a tank of diesel which is £43.00. any suggestions why it would do what its doing on acceleration as it goes like the wind.Has always started with bit of black smoke,but then clears. :)

peasey:
black smoke is nothing i would worry about as its usualy only unburnt diesel, blue or white smoke how ever is when i would start to worry but to be honest im only speaking from a ford escort point of view here,and i know nothing about landy diesels. does it return to normal after you have accelerated and your cruising at average speed?

Xtremeteam:
280 miles to £43 o fuel?

thats brill

i get 160-200 miles out o mine with basically the same set up as you

clairedave:
Yes clears after finished accelerating,if sitting at constant speed does nothing till i floor it! :)

Sharpshooter:
When you fitted the intercooler, did you make any other adjustments?
Did you adjust the diaphragm on the fuel pump? I have the allisport instructions somewhere, but i remember all the settings if you want them.

I have an allisport Full width intercooler in my 200Tdi Disco. Goes like poo off a stick. I only get a small puff when flooring it, not all the time im accelerating. If your unsure on the wastegate setting, buy a boost pressure gauge (or borrow one) then you will know your not over or under boosting it. Mine runs bang on 1 bar at full boost. They are cheap, mine was £20 from Eblag.

If you need anymore help, send me a pm. :)
