    Black smoke?

    Does the car drive normally - normal power delivery? Or has anything changed? Not disturbed the MAF wiring when changing the air filter? How about when the redex + fuel is used up and regular diesel is put in? Just some thoughts... apart from giving it the 'usual suspects' once-over m8!

    My 3.0 loves to smoke. A very fast drive with gear changes up to 4500rpm seems to have cured the problem (for now).

    Black blue or white smoke ?

    Black = intercooler plumbing
    bule = oil
    white = water

    I replaced the injectors on mine a while back but no change...still smokes. Light grey, just like yours. The hard drive, and possibly the better fuel (Austria diesel, Luxembourg premium diesel) seem to have cured it though.
