C30 '09 plate 2.0D Sport Exhaust Smoke
So my C30 appears to be chucking out smoke from the exhaust. I whipped some injector cleaner in last weekend but it still appears there's some smoke there. There's not loads of smoke but enough that I can see it out of my back window when I'm accelerating hard.
It had a new EGR valve fitted about 2 months ago just after I bought it. I know this can can be a bit of a can of worms but any tips to help me identify the problem? |

Is it a cloud of smoke when accelerating hard but not during normal driving?
My V50 puts out a cloud of greyish smoke under hard acceleration and I've noticed quite a few Ford diesels putting out similar smoke. I'm not sure if it's something to worry about or not to be honest |

All diesels without a DPF will smoke under acceleration, more noticeable in the headlights of the car behind.
It becomes a problem when it turns black and begins to stain the rear of the car's bodywork. Other than that make sure the air filter is clean, maybe try a different diesel brand? and lastly check for fault codes I guess.

My non-DPF 2.0D smokes under 70%+ throttle. Not massively noticeable during the day but it is at night in car headlights. It also stains the bodywork but the exhaust practically exits onto the rear bumper and my car is white. But, you know what they say, no smoke no poke!

Like you say I'm hoping it's nothing too serious but would be nice to get rid of. I threw the injector cleaner in and haven't actually seen any smoke since so I'm hoping that may have solved my problem with any luck! |

whens last time oil was changed ?
egr changed because it was faulty or badly gunged up maybe from an over fueling issue perhaps |

Could you elaborate on the over-fuelling issue? What causes over-fuelling? |
