Hi,
I have an S reg scudo 1.9 el td , high mileage 175k but i think its in decent nick for its age , anyhow the problem ive got is the smoke its producing ,its very bad when im accellerating and still quite bad during normal running , its a black sooty smoke so im assuming its unburnt fuel and not oil as it rarely needs topping up.
Also it seems to take a second or two to start properley accelerating when i put my foot down, i dont think its always done this just started about six months ago but havent got round to investigating .
Have read that it could be either worn injectors or the egr valve , is the egr valve accessible and is it possible to clean/repair it?
Any advice much appreciated , dont really want to get rid of it as i think theres still plenty of life left in it but the smoke is quite embarrassing!!
Thanks ,Paul
