Hi,

i hope someone is able to give me some advise,ive recently purchased the above with 120k fsh,it drives well as in starting and and the turbo pulls well but while coasting it seems to be hesitant and coughs now and again then as i accelerate it throws out lots of smoke some black,(very embarassing)also if ive been cruising a while it will just keep puffing out smoke,also seams to misfire, its only when im coasting it doesnt smoke,id appreciate any ideas as i love the car and want it to be sorted.

Give it some Millers or Give it BP Ultimate / Shell Vpower

+ give it an Italian Tune-up.

It might just clear the tubes / clean up the injectors

A friend had similar issues with a Mondeo diesel and it gave up smoking, he then flogged it before it came back.
