Black Smoke

[johnsiddle]

Hi Guy's
Being a newbi and not bought my surf yet I was startled to see an add for a repair kit to stop black smoke when you accelerate.
The ad (ebay seller) went on to say that all surfs do this and fitting a ball bearing somewhere will cure it.

Do all surfs smoke like this?????.

Don't do it


Do a search for EGR

Search the forum for EGR. The Ebay item is a bit of a money waste, as the same job can be done with a cable tie.

No, they don't all smoke and if they do you can fix it in five minutes with a cable tie. Do a search for 'EGR' on the forum and it should all be clear.

Smoke

my surf doesnt nor has it ever had a smoking problem. If you do get a smoky surf sometimes disconecting the EGR helps. (do a search on EGR mod)

hope that helps

Gen1 and gen2

Out of interest at which point did gen2 surfs come into existence and when did the slip diff get fitted that allowed 4 wheel drive on hard surfaces???

The 2nd don't like hard dry surface it was the 3rd gen 96 onwards that had the change

John

First gen was something like 84-89(ish)
Second gen 89-96(ish)
Third gen 96-01(ish)

Here: http://www.hiluxsurf.eu/faq_general.htm#gen

It's not so much a slip diff as a centre diff to referee between the front and back. It came in with the 3rd gens.
