Sooty deposits on bumper (exhaust side)

1.6TD engine, recently leaving what looks like sooty diesel deposits on the bumper. Engine has also become smoky on start up from cold more recently which may or may not be connected.

Re: How to identify distributor and find a replacement

Thanks for your post Aidan.

I have only had the van just over a month so still finding my way a little, where can I find my engine code?

The cables / plastic housing is broken at the bottom of the disty, I think this is part of the Hall Sender you refer to?

Have read a lot of useful information on this site (and a few others) and carried out my first tasks (successfully so far!) such as a coolant and gearbox oil change. I have an annoying issu...
