Hi

Can anyone tell me if I have a problem...

I ahve a 2003 2.2 di with 68000 miles. No problem with acceleration of flat spots. No excessive smoke through the gears but when in sixth and going about 60 if i accelerate sharp I get a puff of smoke, it doesn't look black aand the car accelerates ok. Is this normal????

Thanks in advance

Phil

Sounds like standard diesel puff to me, most diesel cars smoke to an extent on acceleration.

Hi and thanks for the response.

By way of an update and to see if there are any others comments. I can now confirm that the smoking is more sustained when I go above 2500 revs in sixth gear,i.e on the motorway. Still cant see any smoking when changing through gears.

Not sure if my imagination is running away with me but there could be a slight delay in pick or perhaps I am just being picky.

I guess I am just trying to get the earliest possible heads up to see if I have a problem developing. Any views?

Maybe a problem with the turbo if its sustained smoking, take to the dealer and get it checked out.
