Hi,
I'm a recent V70 owner, and I know it's hardly a performance Ovlov but I'm still wondering if there are any resident diesel experts that can help.
I have a 98 2.5 TDi (Audi 5cyl) and the car smokes quite heavily under load (black soot). At a guess I'm thinking there's either a leak in the inlet system somewhere, or that when belts were changed before I bought the car the pump timing isn't right.
I've had a brief look at the inlet system but there are no apparent leaks (I will leak test it), and haven't checked the timing, but if there are any gurus who know if this is a common problem and the causes it would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Andy
