I put my soot chucker on the motorway for a run today and was a little embarrassed, whilst using the cruise control each time the car blipped the power to maintain speed a puff of soot flew out

It does this too when I start her

She is a race blue 07 fabia vrs 98000 miles

Should I be worried ? is there anything I can do to aid the soot reduction, its going in for an oil service next weekend should I get them to put a flush through ?

fuel filter? some form of injector cleaner maybe?

Im having this problem too mine seems to have got worse though :(

fuel filter? some form of injector cleaner maybe?

yeah been dosing with Millers Diesel Power Ecomax to see if that sorts it, ill stick a fuel filter on it too !

cheers pal !

europarts have 3 fuel filters listed I dont suppose you know the part number ?

A puff of smoke can be a boost leak, Leaking turbo seals, down to the map on it if it's mapped and even at worst ****** rings or stem seals.

have you checked your air filter

yeah first thing I did, it has foam cover so couldnt see too much, it looked ok though might just order one to be on the safe side

Right I replaced air and fuel filter and am still suffering from puff of blacks smoke (a pal followed me)

What would you do next im thinking lovelly new oil service and yet another dosed full tank of millers

how would I check for a boost leak ?
