Hi all.
I have an issue with my wife`s car where the car has black smoke when i start it up or accelerate hard.
I have been doing some research before posting,and the main thing i would guess is air/vacuum leak.
I had a good look around the car but could not find anything, appart from a pipe wich comes out of the turbo is covered in oil (picture below).
this is metal pipe, and 2 months ago when i got the car and done service i did clean it but not it has oil around it again. Could this pipe be the issue?
I opened the egr valve and cleaned it as it was filled with soot as it does but no difference. the other question i got is when rev hard on stand still the egr valve flap does not move at all. Does it have to close/open?
i have checked the car on diagnostic but nothing comes up.
any help?
