Mark Edwards Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Black smoke is fuel, blue oil and white is water, so i would say it's overfueling. Look at a possible lambda sensor issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryno Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 might just be a turbo *puff* which is common on pretty much all turbo cars ;) check your manifold/down pipe(or cat) are both done up tightcheck you've got oilunless it's pouring out it's nothing to be too concerned about!

Mark Edwards Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 need for info on it mate than that, that issue could be anything ... could be as simple as the oil used is too thin ...It'll be nothing to do with the oil if it's black smoke, oil issues come out as blue smoke. It'll 100% definitley be fuel if it's black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
