--- Quote from: "treeman" ---not to sure if this would work but wouldnt fitting a fuel pressure regulator save messin about with the fuel pump?? just fit in the fuel line and wind it down for the mot, this is what i do on my corsa because i have took the cat off, it doesnt run good at all but its way under the emissions :-)

An interesting thought. Where would I get one from and where in the fuel line would I fit it? Anyone else using one?

its a diesel

that wont work as the supply from the lift pump to the inj pump is low pressure :wink:

In the last month or so, I've started to get a lot more smoke on hard acceleration. When I ease off the throttle, the smoke level goes back to normal. My fuel filter has been replaced since the problem started and I have a K&N filter which has been in for only 5000 miles. I've run some fuel system/injector cleaner through the tank and there's been no improvement.

Check the air-filter and that no hoses are collapsing internally limiting air flow...

The air filter's fine (see my original post) - all of the rubber hoses were replaced with silicon hoses when the intercooler was fitted
