I have a 2007 kia sorento since since August 2020 and it drives but is a little smokey any advice? It's got a new turbo and manifold and I've run cataclean and lots of Redex through the system.

Is it using a lot of oil?

 

[BIRDMAN]

Mileage and colour of smoke?

Is it using a lot of oil?

I don't think so but I have been told it has a slight oil leak somewhere

 

[Tom14]

Mileage and colour of smoke?

About 110k and black smoke....seems to be less now than there was but still a bit concerned

 

[BIRDMAN]

Black smoke is a sure sign of worn injectors leaking more fuel, thus the fuel air ratio incorrect.

Black smoke is a sure sign of worn injectors leaking more fuel, thus the fuel air ratio incorrect.

That's what I thought, injectors seem awfully expensive can you recommend anywhere please?

 

[Olympus]

Not necessarily... if the fuel isn't being atomised correctly by the injector, then it wont burn correct thus black smoke
yes over fueling can also cause black smoke

So an update on the situation.....I went to my remap guy who plugged in and said no ecu faults but my egr pipe is leaking, he's superb by the way if anyone needs any ecu help or a remap in the southwest
