Hello all, just found this site from a post on the fiat coupe owners club www.fccuk.org/forum.

I have a 1.9tds, lowered 40mm and 17" BK racing alloys!

It has started smoking rather a lot recently! (Black smoke) I know it is an old diesel so expect a little smoke, but to be told by several people pulling along side me on the Mway that my car is f***** is a little embarasssing! Any ideas?
 
Black smoke from a diesel is suggesting from my experience its over fueling

TD100
 
i had a td van that started smokeing lot more than usual the turbo stoped working properly have you noticed any drop in power
 
Yer is a TD100!

I think over fueling to, but car has been very under powered! Full throttle solves the smoke and I seem to get good power at full throttle, just not on half throttle etc!

Please don't say it is a turbo!

My 20vt coupe needs a new turbo to!
 
sound like u need to change the oil and oil filter and put redx in and see how u go from there if not see how much it will cost for a full system flush including fuel that should clean the black smoke up abit if not then its a new turbo for u mate
 
or like when mine went underpowered check the wastegate hasnt stuck open as mine did, wot mileage is it on?

Just the turbos on the TD100 are solid lumps, mines done 120k of stick so far and is running very close to manufacture pressure still.
 
Solved!

Turned out that the blanking plug on the final injector had persished meaning lots of fuel was being spryed over the side of the engine! If you then combine this with the fact that my induction pipe had come loose just under the last injector and all the air was getting sucked in from there!

In summary the induction was sucking in fuel soaked air and then causing car to run extra rich, hence black smoke and lack of power!
 
Them TD engines are hard as nails.

I had one, and thrashed it. And then thrashed it more - It was never serviced and had a dodgy injector yet it STILL ran fine after 40k of hardcore punishment.
