Guest bazzzza Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Hi all, just got a c3 1.4 hdi, but it smokes when i accelerate. know diesels smoke but this is quite a lot of black smoke. driving around normal it produces smoke too. The car sounds great and there doesn't seem to be any lack in performance. I checked the oil level and it looks a bit high, can this cause it? The car is a 52 plate with only 40000miles on the clock with a full service history. if it has only been used for short trips in the past, could this be the problem? I am at a loss as it passed a mot in Feb so it should have been ok then. Has anybody got an idea as i am at a loss, Thanks for looking... Quote
Johndouglas Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 If it were my vehicle I would change the oil & filter, change the air filter, put some injector cleaner like Millers or diesel Redex in the fuel tank, then see how it is Quote
