    bro mine used to smoke like anything when i got it and it was an ex-taxi. Since buying it i do alot of motorway mileage and i sit at 90ish and i tell you something mate - no where near as much black smoke as when i first had the car.....

    mine does need a service desperately which i will try and do soon and that should clear up the last of it...

    if you are using fully synthetic oil in your that could be a cause of a little bit of it as fully synthetic can sometime be a bit heavy in diesels and so produces a bit of soot/black smoke....

    hope that helps in someway

    How high were the revs ?
    Blac smoke one a diesel isnt a problem its probably just al sooted up and needed a good blst out. blue smoe is what you worry about.

    Excessive black smoke at low revs = intecooler plumbing has hole somewhere.
