Google 2nd Gear August 16, 2016 Share August 16, 2016 I was told for NV200, Renault engine have problem, there are a few case of injector problem. Not cheap to replaced. For those always on road, best to get front engine than seat base because in case of front accident impact, your leg might be at risk for under the seat engine as nothing in front to absorb the impact. For diesel engine vehicle, the air filter is the next important thing that many neglect. Black smoke is common for poor combustion due to dirty air filter. After driving diesel liteace for 12yrs, I find it getting nosier by the day. My next van will be NV200, but will be petrol, auto version. Yearly inspection will be a breeze than the diesel load test. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic August 16, 2016 Share August 16, 2016 Yup have seen the location of the filter . A real screwed up design by the French. One reason I'm not buying another Renault. You would have thought they you have made enough mistakes by now.Yep, the location of the oil filter is a joke. Have to hoist up and down and up and down. Can't they just design it like the Japanese? To be frank when we bought the NV200 I didn't know it was using Renault engine until I bought the oil filter from the stockist.

Actually I find the emission test a joke. Have seen some really old lorries passing the test when it's emitting black smoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic August 16, 2016 Share August 16, 2016 Is it? Didn't know that. Thot the real culprit is the oil filter Black smoke is unburnt fuel, thus a severely clogged air filter can produce black smoke. When you're revving the engine hard, fuel is pumped in, but not enough air, then you get black smoke. In a diesel engine, air is free flow, so the only blockage will be the air filter. Unlike a petrol engine, where the throttle body controls the amount of air coming in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beregond Supersonic August 16, 2016 Share August 16, 2016 Bo wonder I no black smoke before. Because I always suka suke take out and blow with compressed air. And change every servicing. choke air filter will cause black smoke, but very low % same as fuel and oil filter. most of the black smoke which u see from diesel vehicle is left over carbon in the exhaust. esp those with turbo, cause most driver when they shift gear , they dun rev the rpm high enough result in carbon struck in exhaust. before inspection if u know wat to to, just push water hose into exhaust and clear the carbon out. or just buy some anti smoke and find some ulu road and ram till all the carbon clear. some old vehicle die die cannot pass 1, have to find workshop to fix the fuel pump/ injector 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piyopico Supercharged August 17, 2016 Author Share August 17, 2016 Newer vehicles not suitable to push water hose into exhaust due to the DPF. Wow. Push water hose into exhaust to clear black smoke before inspection. I learn something new here everyday. If I get a diesel van, I might just try this. Hope it works on vans above 10 years old.
