  • Black smoke on start up!

    Hi Guys/Girls, I've had a 1993 2.4 turbo Diesel SSR-G for a few months now and love it,Everything is fine,everything works OK and drives great,But I have one problem, in the morning when I first start it a huge amount of black/grey smoke comes at the Exhaust, once she's ticked over for less than a minute its fine no smoke at all. clean as when she's running to. It only smokes after it has been sitting for the day. So First thing in the morning then also when I start it after work say 10 hours of sitting there.

    People have advised me it could be several things:
    1) That the injector seals are leaking so while sitting there it leaks and when it starts up its just the leaked fuel being burnt off?
    2) Dirty Injectors?
    3)Head possibly cracked?

    After finding this forum and seeing that a lot of you seem to no your stuff I'd thought I'd pass it buy all of you. I have a warranty on all parts and labour and its due in for a service, and I would just like to know before taking it in so I don't get ripped. you know how it is!
    Anyway any advice would be gratefully received

    Hey danny

    Black smoke is normal first thing on a morning for any diesel, if like you say it clears up after less than a minute & it runs perfect then you have nothing to worry about,just service it regular & it will run for ever,well a long time anyway.
    If its not broke don't fix it.

      when you next do a fuel filter change fill it with atf or redex then drive it like you stole it for a little while

        Thanks for your advice guys, I will try the redex when it goes in for a service. I must say though that this is a huge amount of smoke! not like the other diesels I've had where as you say its normal for a little smoke on start up. Its enough for people to look and think christ what's up with that! one good thing is it clears any people out the way! better than any reversing alarm!

          Its alive.

          I wouldn't worry too much about black smoke on a diesel engine.

          Have Chelsea gotta following down under?
