Hi

 

Soon as I sort one problem out it seems onto next.  Perhaps truck is coming to end of life but still have long MOT ,  recently  bought new battery & starter motor and it is running /starting well so reluctant to move on

 

P reg  1.9 D  Pick Up

 

My latest problem -   Lot of black smoke from exhaust when reved at standstill  or on road

 

Changed fuel and air filter  filter made no difference

 

Removed the black box with the air inlet tubes from top of engine - everything very dirty.   Sooty - not oily

 

Cleaned everything including tubes -  but no difference

 

Any idea please ?       Injectors next I guess.   Can anyone tell me size of deep socket to remove them - it looks like 26 or 27mm but hard to tell and I do not ant to remove pipes etc till I have correct socket to hand

Have a look at my topic Skoda Felicia Service Training Videos.

There is one video titled 1.9 l Diesel engine that I invite you to watch start to finish. Not only that you'll learn more about the engine but you'll get a specific answer to your problem. If still in doubt, just ask.

 

Size 27 socket.

At a guess the egr valve is stuck open.I would be tempted to blank it off with a bit of tin ( coke can stuff is fine) it's only 2 bolts and cut out a copy of the gasket without the big hole in the centre. Otherwise could be pump timing or injections
