Black smoke from the exhaust: what is behind it?

Black smoke usually points to incomplete combustion: too much fuel or too little air. Here are the common causes.

Black smoke from the exhaust
01

What black smoke means

The smoke contains unburned soot. The engine may be getting too much fuel or too little fresh air. A short puff when accelerating hard can occur on older diesels, but permanent black smoke should be checked.

02

Common causes

Common causes include a sticking or soot-clogged EGR valve, a dirty mass air flow (MAF) sensor or air filter, faulty injectors, turbocharger problems or a heavily loaded particulate filter. A reliable statement is only possible after diagnosis.

03

Why you should not wait long

If the engine runs rich for a long time, this can put strain on the filter, turbocharger and engine oil. The longer the cause is left unfixed, the greater the follow-up damage can be.

04

How we proceed

We read the stored fault codes and check the EGR system, particulate filter and sensors. Send us make, model, year and when the smoke appears on WhatsApp. We only give prices on request.

  • I had my DPF cleaned and was very satisfied. The staff are extremely professional and use state-of-the-art equipment. No other company in Alanya works as cleanly and carefully. I can recommend them without reservation 🙏

  • They cleaned the diesel particulate filter of my Peugeot 3008 and also helped me with other problems. Manfred and his friend Erden are very kind and helpful. Thank you both! Greetings from Bosnia
