Club 80-90 Forums

Hi

Hoping someone can help, its a 1.6d 1984, under load there is alot of black smoke coming out the exhaust, having had a read on the forum it all seems to point to the pump timing. Can someone confirm this as there is no apparent loss of power and all seems to run well. If this is the case is it a job you can do yourself or is special tools needed?

Thanks

Anyone?

It happened to me when I overfilled it with oil.

It went away after a few trips as the oil level dropped a bit.

Just a thought.

black smoke is over fueling, give it a good service and bung injector cleaner in the fuel it wont get rid completely but should be less

I found that the snorkel pipe, that is in the nearside rear pillar, on mine had all but disintegrated causing reduced air flow to the engine resulting in smoke under heavy load just like yours. I have replaced the damaged pipe and the smoke is a lot less now.

Seems after turning the fueling down it started to smoke again, turns out this part as you say was in a bad way, just ordered one from brickwerks so hopefully will help getting the fueling set up correctly.
