Black smoke

06-01-2019, 16:54

Hi, just looking for some advice. A few months ago I noticed some black smoke from the exhaust on my 155 THP. It spectacularly failed its MOT on emissions the week after this. The O2 sensor was changed and following this it passed the MOT absolutely fine.

Now, I noticed black smoke again a few weeks back and replaced the O2 sensor again. This worked for a few weeks, and now the black smoke is back!

What on earth is destroying my O2 sensors?

Any ideas?

Thanks

With all the mods detailed in your signature, would suggest that you probably have a better idea than us

Fuel mixture? Cat Converter? Is the O2 sensor before or after the Cat?
Looks like some sort of combustion problem

maybe run a fuel system cleaner through?
