Hi all..
Ha the rrs tdv6 2007 for a few months now with no problem. Went to France in it last week all good.. Just been up to Wales on a 400mile round trip just noticed on the way back whenever you tooch the accurate it's chucking out loads of smoke.. And The bottom off the square tips (autobiography conversion)are black with oil!!!!! Any body got any ideas or what I can check before taking it to the garage???
Thanks Darren

Usual "starter for ten" is to check the intercooler hoses for splits. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Ok I'll check them and see if I can see anything..

Cheers Darren

Black smoke without the ESF is almost always a split in the intercooler hose or less likely a split in the intercooler itself. Bodsys Brake Bible

Thanks guys I've just been out to the car and found the split easy.. I don't know if it's the inter cooler hose but you might be able to help. It's at the front of the engine and goes of to left (drivers side) and is attached to a plastic thing with molded squares on it!!! ?? It's drops into the bottom of the engine can't see where it's attached down there, so must be a long hose????

Cheers Darren

That's the one. Easy to change.  Bodsys Brake Bible

I think that's the one that comes up from the intercooler - the box with squares on connects to the front of the electronic throttle and has the charge air temperature sensor in it (to measure the temp of the air coming from the intercooler). 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
