Hi, Noticed today that there is abit of black smoke coming out the exhaust when accelerating. Its fine on tickover! I only ever drive about 10 miles around town each day. Mine has the euro 3 emissions on it. Is this normal for these fairways to chuck abit of black smoke out when accelerating? Can anyone recommend a diesel additive ? Would a motorway run clear it out? |

Lots of short trips and you get a lot of soot in exhaust,wouldnt do any harm to give it a blast up and down motorway. |

Couple of good tips there. I normally give mine a good spanking before the MOT,bouncing along at 70 for a few minutes blows a load of junk out of the exhaust. |

Or get the EGR blanked off with a 20 pence blank I am probably sounding thick, but where is the EGR ? Also where can I buy the blank from? Thanks for the advice everyone! |

Depends what emission kit it has on it,theres no egr on some.If you did want to blank it of youd just make a blank out of a old can of pop. |
