change your fuel filter then see how it is..

sounds like fuel starvation

thats what i was thinking

as its like its being starved of fuel in high revs

 

will get a new filter in the mrning and see how it goes

 

cheers 8shot

how do i get the fuel filter off

as on the van the fuel filter seems to have a pump on it

do i replace the whole thing or will it unscrew from the pump and hoses

 

thanks

AIR FILTER BLOCKED ACTING LIKE A CHOKE.

i,ve had the same problem before ,fuel starvation ,get new filter but first check the 90 degree bend before the filter ,this is where the big bits collect first ,

change all filters and use a bottle of injector cleaner with a scores worth of derv and drive her hard..

could possibly be a cat if theres one fitted.. replace cat. or strait pipe it..

have a look at ya pump some are adjustable..

also check theres no splits in ya turbo hose

black smokes ok its when its bluey white your buggered ie rings and pistons//

deffo check the turbo hoses

 

someone said headgasket.. but i dont see how as your not overheating // the quickest check for this is look

at your oil ..if the oil on the dipstick is milky ie water and oil mix then youve got head issues.. but i dont think this is the case

if its non turbo it could be fuel filter i would give it an all over service then if it still happens i would look into piston rings

Id try the air filter first.Black smoke is normaly a sign of not enough air & to much fuel.Could also be the injectors or the pump on its way out.Dout it would be head gasket,oil would be milky,using water & steam out the exhaust.Wont hurt to change the fuel filter aswel.Good luck.
