No ideas but it cannot be doing the cats and carbon particulate filters a lot of good if there is so much black stuff coming out of the back. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

So are you saying there's more smoke since you had it upgraded? Have you taken it up with the company that did it?

You should take it back to the company who did the re-map. Because I spoke with the guys here who are doing re-mapīs and they told me that black smoke is coming out when you are over doing it. It means that they tried to put out from the engine too much HP and torque. 2008 RRS TDV8 HSE, Java black, Alpaca,..... |

If you have used a well known chip company, do a search under 'chipping' and you will soon come across early posts explaining why your RRS emits smoke when now it has been chipped. A faulty component is usually to blame, not the chip. The chip just highlights the problem. Gone - 2008 TDV8, Stornoway Grey, ebony, zabrano trim, TV, Tasmods, mudflaps. |

It sounds to me that they have just pushed the engine tuning a tad to far to gain the power you have got.

The JCB super car that beat the landspeed record had smoke, but JCB were concerned that people would see black smoke that they put something in the exhaust which coloured the smoke white so it couldn't be seen against the white of the salt flats! Porsche Cayenne S Diesel 66 Plate |

On the old ships I used to sail in we used to use special sticks in the uptakes when we went to the USA so that when, on the rare occassion we made that big thick cloud after the first turn of the engine the smoke came out grey or white, never black........................... these days we have to burn mega expensive distilate low sulpher fuels instead and they just knacker the engine which is designed to run on heavy fuels, one stage out from the ground rather than lighter grades. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
