My father has a 2006 2.0D Jag X type, and happened to ask me if its normal to kick out black smoke when you acceleate. I said the usual " a bit if you really floor it and its not been driven hard for some tiome, but only once and then OK".

Air Filter and general service first, then chuck a small amount of BioD into 1/2 a tank to flush the system out.

Gut feeling says it probably needs a good hard run, high revs to get some heat into the exhaust, has it got a dpf? If so they need heating up occasionally to free them of crud this can be achieved by a good long run 1/2 hr plus at high revs

Or if it is dpf it's better to get someone with local jag/lr diags to force a regen instead. Should only cost a few quid. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

If its an 06 then it won't have DPF... But it has got the 2.0d Mondeo engine that suffered with injector issues

Have you tried running your hand down the pipe that comes out the rear of the turbo, these suffer with tiny hairline cracks and this will leave you with plumes of black smoke covering the road under acceleration. I tried all the EGR methods before I found this problem, turned out to be quite a common failure on all the mondeo diesels. Hope this helps. |

I'll go with Glenn. I had a similar problem on a mondeo and couldn't see the split in the pipe until I had removed it |

Bit of an update, he's given it a bit of a thrashing and it no longer emits black smoke. To be honest it only gets really short runs and he tries to drive economically and not rev it.

I remember Basil Fawlty thrashing a car. What kind of a tree do you use to thrash a modern diesel? |
