Hi everyone,
Having fixed the ticking of the A/C, (previous post) our 2006 Sorento XS Diesel is now producing clouds of black smoke. It started last week while on a motorway in Spain while pulling our 1700kg caravan, so we pulled in some service and bought a bottle of injector cleaner and tipped it into a 3/4 full tank. After about 30 miles the smoke decreased and finally stopped altogether. We hoped that was the end of it and it has been smoke free for eight days, including another short tow of 90 miles and a refill of diesel. Now a week or so later and with another fresh tank of of diesel, the problem has returned, again whilst towing.
Anyone have some idea of the cause?
Suggestions and help much appreciated.
Had car from new, 95,000 trouble free miles.
