• Peugeot 806 MPV (1995 - 2003) - 01 2.0 Expert HDi 110 black smoke and poor economy 2 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Hi all My Pug Expert has had a few diesel problems which have mostly been sorted thanks to advice from several very helpful members of this forum. It's running much better now since a local diesel specialist found way too many copper seals under the injectors (he found 11 seals in the end) and gave it all a good clean up and bypassed the EGR valve, but I'm still getting black smoke especially under heavy (ish) acceleration and it's worse when the turbo kicks in.

• Ford Escort van T reg 99 55 1.8D - Lumpy cold start idle, stalling and hesitation!! 10 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  It has brand new lifter pump, so would be suprised if it was leaking air (zip tied rubber glove over it, no difference) primer pump alway solid after 2 or 3 pumps. Have noticed diesel leak on fuel tank or lines not sure which havent had time to investigate. mmm thats all i can think of atm, but hopefully somebody out there can help me :-))) Thinking it might be a fuel starving problem but not sure where or how or what to test etc, not sure if fuel pump is dodgy or soemthing??
