Hiya

Had the turbo checked. A1!!

Still smoking when turbo kicks in?? Not so much since i decoked it with Forte.

What do you reckon about this.

When i oil changed it last july i put an a1 oil in it, since then been topping it with with tesco's special as i need to replace it again in september!!.

Do you think that this mix has anything to do with it?

Chris. Could a fuel pump over fuelling be creating excess black smoke?
