Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - 2005 1.6 smoke on acceleration/high load & oil dip 17 Jul 2013 (Forum)
They also noticed that the dipstick always seemed to have oil on it even when the sump was drained (the oil is disgustingly black). They recommended a oil flush to clear this excessive deposit away. Is this worthwhile or have a got a serious problem? Thanks Chris
Taxation of Veggie Oil. 10 Dec 2007 (Forum)
>> Apparantly the law has been relaxed on the use of veg oil as a fuel. >> You can use upto 2500 litres without paying duty. That's a common misconception and not correct. Producers of "fiscal quality bio-diesel" are exempt from paying duty on production of less than 2500lts a year for their own use.

engine failure-oil warning light - Focus 29 Jan 2005 (Forum)
I need help on this I am not technically minded I want to know if this could happen to a diesel at such a young age after I always have it serviced regularly - there was a problem with the oil warning indicator and I have a strong reason to believe the mechanic removed the oil warning light wire as after I had it serviced the oil warning light kept coming which I told him about ut before I went on the trip he assured me he had rectified this.

Fiat Punto diesel 6 Sep 2002 (Forum)
Anyway, as usual I immediately changed all the fluids, including engine oil, which seemed to get black very quick. Now I have the manual I realise that although the engine's first fill is 5.3litre you can only drain 4.8litre out, no matter how much I tilt it and how long I leave it to drain.
Mitsubishi Shogun - Shogun 3.2 Di-D plumes of black smoke on tickover 19 May 2020 (Forum)
It embarrassed me by doing it whilst on the ramp for the last MOT and the guy refused to continue the test after it filled his workshop with acrid diesel fumes! He did hear the clunk though, as the bonnet was up, & he started looking around the nearside area of the engine bay as it sounded like it came from there. I initially thought turbo but that's on the offside and it does seem to be fuel burning rather than oil.

Vectra water loss.Inline valve? 3 Aug 2005 (Forum)
On the back of the engine on my 97 Vectra diesel,there seems to be a black valve of some sort,that is inline on the water system,to the heater.It also has a small black push on pipe,much like a vacuum pipe on an old carburettor engine. This seems to have a small leak,but I think under pressure,and the faster the engine runs,it is obviously losing more water,as the level in my header tank can go down,even if I've filled it up.There's no water in the oil,so the head gasket would appear to be ok,and I think it possibly unlikely the head could be cracked,so this may be the culprit.

hi i was wondering if any one can help , my 98 td escort is drinking the diesel its doing at last count about 18 mpg , also there is a lack of turbo boost, when i used to put my foot down in second the turbo would kick in at about 2.5 - 3 rpm , but now when i put my foot down all i get is plooms of black smoke in my rear view , could anyone recommend any parts that may need changing, its had new oil, oil filter glow plugs, diesel filter , air filter but its still the same , my friend has the exact same car , his accelerator is more responsive than mine , could it be a timing issue?
Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - 05 2.0 Black smoke/knocking noise 2 Feb 2010 (Forum)
I have owned my Mazda 6 Diesel TS2 (136) for approx 18 months now with 140,000m on the clock.
