Unhappy 03 tdci black smoke problem

Hi I have an 03 130 tdci and has started to smoke on pull off until 2500 revs thick cloud then sometimes goes to grey, I have replaced the fuel filter and air filter and cleaned the egr and inlet manifold. and today had it plugged in to see if there are any fault codes and none at all showed so am stumped now what it could be I have seen some similar threads but can not get to the bottom of it so any suggestions would be great ...thanks steve

Check the intercooler to EGR boost pipe, these can split.

You can get cleaners but they aren't really that effective IMO.

You say you've cleaned the EGR, but is it actually working? Cleaning is no guarentee that it's ok. Blank it off and see if the issue remains.

Have just ordered a blanking plate so will wait and see if this does the trick, also spoke to a diesel specialist and he has said the same so hopefully this will do the trick, and will post if it does...
thanks for the help everyone

Start your own thread, you're more likely to get replies. There are hundreds of different things it can be. You need to have it properly diagnosed by a specialst.
