|  Smoke Hi All, New to forum & car. Bought an Estima desiel automatic M reg as could not longer get the kids car seats into the Mondeo. Having cetain problems though. 1. Getting low milage as someone else mentioned. 2. Get a lot of black smoke on cold startup and no power for some time. Until it warms and the turbo kicks in there is quite a bit of smoke. Once up and running it runs very well and no smoke-no loss of power. Records show it was looked after except for the last year whilst it was in the hands of a so called mechanic. Ideas please. | ||||||||

| Black smoke is often fixed by blanking the EGR valve. Apparently, there's a tutorial in the members area showing how to do it... Bob3D

| When you change the fuel filter, put some Wynn's Diesel Cleanup in the filter pot. This will clean up any carbon build up in the valves/injectors etc. | ||||||||

| A lot of folks put a litre of diesel in, then run for a few minutes before draining the oil

| Oh..and if it's gooey around the filler cap, it might be best removing the sump and checking that isn't full of jelly too.
