Morning All
Had my bus serviced last year not long after purchase and air filter was very dirty, put this down to PO neglect ,however just had a service again and air filter is very black/sooty after only 3000 miles .I have noticed that around the inspection flap behind number plate does get pretty black aswell .Any ideas as what could cause this ? TIA
the bus is a 1.9 1Y diesel conversion

Re: sooty air filter
what sort of air filter do you have ? post up a picture or two, every conversion is different so it is difficult to advise without knowing more - the black button marked i can be used to easily add pics when you post up a reply

Re: sooty air filter
mechanic thinks may have a split in back box causing soot but why would this get into air box?I cannot see a split and because the back box is welded to the downpipe i cannot remove it without removing downpipe aswell but looks like the studs / nuts on the manifold are corroded so badly they will need to be cut and manifold looks like its seen better days !![Image](https://i.imgur.com/6oLZ43P.jpg)

Yes that looks like the part (not that I am any expert on diesels but all the ohc engines have one afaik)
