To begin with, we note that the smoke from a diesel engine is an absolutely normal process. Of course, if he doesn’t do it like the old KamAZ. The soot accumulated by the diesel particulate filter must come out. Simply because this process cannot continue indefinitely, because exhaust gases are difficult to remove as a result. Then the regeneration mode is turned on – cleaning the filter from deposits.
But there are situations when the filter is cut out or the design does not provide at all. And there are many such cars, because “soot” has been mandatory for all diesel cars only since 2009. In this case, smoke is noticeable. It is even more noticeable when the engine is “chip” to increase power.
And here we describe a typical situation. A driver who drives calmly sells a car to someone who enjoys driving. From active riding, the “iron horse” begins to strongly “diesel”. Seeing this, the helmsman rushes to the service, and there they “roll out” an invoice for a round amount of 500,000 rubles! Works include replacement of injectors, fuel rail, converter, “flashing” of the engine control unit. The car is called Toyota Land Cruiser Prado by the way. That’s why the price is like that.
Stunned by the fierce “price”, the helmsman begins to take charge of the car. It rides smoothly, forget the “throttle to the floor” mode. As a result, the car smokes very little. And the diagnosis made later shows that everything is fine with her! What happened? This happens when the car is tuned and the diesel particulate filter is cut out. Smoke from the chimney when the gas is strongly pressed is the norm. And the dishonest craftsmen, seeing all the changes, decided to cash in on the citizen, saying that the injectors and neutralizer were “dead”.
Therefore, only rely on proven services. And also know that if the active phase of regeneration has started and the car smokes, there is no need to be afraid and turn off the engine. Let the process go smoothly. It usually takes about 20 minutes. What is the frequency? It depends on how much you drive. If it is rare, black smoke will come out of the pipe, usually once every 1000 km. In this case, the engine runs smoothly and without malfunctions. So you don’t have to worry: your car is in order.
