smoke

Morning all, had my C270 mapped yesterday by Angel Tuning and very pleased, as mentioned in another thread yesterday. However the point of this thread is that my car previously didnt smoke too much unless i floored it and it would the usual diesel puff of smoke etc but now after the map i cant...

hi all i havnt been on the site for a week due to internet hub issues, but nice to be back. i put a post in sometime ago about my car blowing out lots of black smoke when a floored it. i now know that this was down to a little bar that had come of a motor thats located just under the...

hi all, every so oftern i just have to floor it, in my lovely e320 just to feel that power of the 3.2 block:bannana: thing is i do notice alot of smoke when i look out the rear window, checking to see if im being chased by the police. i know its a diesel and i guess you should expect it. any views ?

I've got a 98 E300TD (W210) which has been overhauled once about 55k kms ago and I have recently replaced the injector nozzles. The problem is that when I start my car in the morning it starts fine without any smoke. After about 5-8 minutes of idling the engine sound drastically changes as if...

A wierd topic for a post, I know. Trying to figure out what my latest source of smoke is - I think it's not the same as the one which was cured here: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/859727-post37.html I think the smoke smells a bit like Vaseline, and is not as heavy as oily smoke. I don't...

HI everybody. i have a w124.I noticed a white smoke coming from the engine.what can have caused that? thanks.

Hi guys I had my car in a garage to get the glowplugs changed, One was snapped and two were stuck, so he had a specialist to come and remove them " thread doctor". all in all it cost me £250. they had to drill them out. My car was started when i went to pick it up and i noticed it was...

Hi Guys Please help!! I have just bought a ML 270CDi on a 02 plate with 92K on the clock and full MB history. I have had a number of issues with the ML including the 22in alloys it came with being held on with a couple of the wheel nuts having string wrapped around them!! but I'll leave that...

Went to see the C32 today. Car had been not started for about a week. Started on the button but a fair puff of blueish smoke came out when it did. This to me says for some reason the valve stem oil seals are leaking. Has anyone got a known cause of this for the AMG engine? It has full...

Hi all, My first post on this forum. The car is a 545,000 mile y2000 "W"reg E320CDI estate that I bought cheaply from a taxi company. My wife thinks it's cool that it's been to the moon and back and I'd like to fix it up for her. Here's the problem: The car starts up fine though...

OK, before you start the slagging me, I am a Vaneo owner. I have an 02 Vaneo diesel 1.7CDi. 85K miles. We've had it since new. Recently I've been getting excessive blue / grey smoke. The exhaust pipe is sooty, rather than oily. Smoke is prevalent when pulling off cold, increasingly smokes...

Yeah, I know there are hundreds of threads here, most of which I have read briefly on diesels smoking....but I am just looking for some reassurance or advice I guess. Hubby recently ran some Millers through the tank because he figured it might do her some good, but after 2 tanks of diesel she's...

My brothers 2005 E60 530d has started producing large clouds of black smoke when its floored, the oil level is fine and it was serviced about 6months ago. The smoke only lasts a second or so and I know all diesels produce some black smoke, but this looks like a Victorian steamroller. I...

Hi Guys, I've had a Jan 2002 W210 E320CDI estate for a year or so now and I'm very pleased with it. Especially after the p.o.s I had before it. I may have a small problem though. I have noticed that there is 'smoke' coming from the passenger side of the bonnet. It's the corner close to...

Have recently noticed that my E320CDI (180,000 km) is producing lots of black smoke. It mostly happens once the engine has been on no load (e.g. standing at traffic lights or pottering along) and then on application of power a cloud of very black smoke is produced. Once the engine pulls through...

Hi all, I was cruising around today enjoying the comfort of my car. Everything was as it should be. I got around 25mpg, at 50mph easy driving. Then I saw a friend of mine, and he wanted to drive my car. Fine, I said. he took it up the road, with me in it and put his foot down. I looked...

Hi, I have a 2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E220 CDI with 76,000 mileage. There is a problem with exhaust tail pipe smoke on acceleration. I have recently got the injectors overhauled and B-service done. The car still gives out black smoke on acceleration. The car’s pull is OK (no loss of power) and...

Hi, This is my first ever post. I have recently purchased a gorgeous 1988 300 SE. She sounds healthy but give's out a burst of blue smoke upon sharp acceleration. I have read many posts and now believe this to be valve seals? If this is the case would replacing them be the most thorough fix...

Hi all, hopefully someone can help! I have a genuine E36 W124 estate, with 91k. It has an issue on cold starts whereby it takes a few turns to get going, then basically throws out blue unburnt fuel smoke from the rear - for about 30 seconds, then it's fine after that - no other issues...
