    I had a bad MAF sensor, cleaned EGR and Intake Manifold, changed air filter now I have 0 black smoke, but before that I could block road with smoke for a full minute if there is no wind xD

    My M47TU engine started vibrating more last year, in the last month it has started shooting loads of black smoke and the turbine was hardly kicking in anymore with acceleration taking truly painfully long. I'd put my foot all the way down and wait about 30 seconds or so to get to the desired speed. I also noticed that when the engine was cold it performed better or as if nothing was wrong. Now I did occasionally get a check engine light which would go away on its own and come back. On a scan a MAF fault and DME fault showed. I changed the MAF as that is one that does not get cleaned! Once contaminated, you need a new one (on my 3rd one), also changed the gasket that goes onto the turbo inlet air pipe because it was shredded. Performance has improved, the turbo always kicks in albeit still a bit late and definitely not back to normal power. As well as still a lot of smoke, although a bit less than before, except on really hot days when it darkens the past in the rearview mirrors. Noticed blowby on the flex exhaust pipe, lots or oil squirting from the exhaust recirculation pipes that goes on the EGR. Next step is to remove the EGR and that pipe and clean them both as well as having the flex pipe replaced. Will see if these solve the issues.

      @@CyesH-we6oo No, I finally solved it. Besides the turbo inlet gasket, it was also the egr inlet pipe which was cracked and leaking air. Replaced that as well and the engine returned to normal.

    Thanks for this checklist. I get smoke and rough running accelerating from low RPM which clears up at higher RPM, with a Volvo D4162T. Hoping I don't have to go as far as injectors to clear it up.

  • @jacquespoirier9071

    a very important cause it intake manifold or intake valves plugged with soot coming from EGR system, it is why i fear the VW software " adjustment" to conform federal requirements, the NOx content was too high ( an indication for high combustion temperature ) so an easy way to remedy is to increase the EGR shot more economical than install a DEF injection system but with the result that the engine becomes soot plugged much before the end of its useful life meaning that the probability that the engine needs deep service at the charge of the owner is significantly increased

      Hi. Assuming the injectors are good, and I pressume the air filter is new, the issue might be a cracked intercooler or the hoses leading to it.
