Hi Guys
Thought I would post this for benefit of others who may have a smokey Uly.
Mine was black smoke on start up and accelleration, quite a cloudful James Bond would be impressed.
I took the air mass regulator off the air box and cleaned it with brake cleaner spray and used a cotton wool bud to carefully clean the heat strips. They were covered in soot and a film of oil.
Then opened the diesel filter and drained off the contents and added Forte diesel cleaner neat (available on e bay) replaced the filter.
Started the engine and revved it high to see it belch out a huge plume of black smoke which stained the roadway.
Took it out for a blast and now it runs totally without any smoke and is more responsive.
Hope this helps as it was a cheap fix rather than replacing the air mass reg and injectors.
Fingers crossed it stays clean.
