This morning on my way to work I had lovely black smoke pouring out the exhaust. I could easily see it swirling around the rear window. Engine was just under 1/4 warm. Accelerating made it much thicker (word has it the cloud has now drifted to Moscow ) On a level road with CC on, it was still doing it.
As the engine warmed up and got to just under 1/2 mark, it did it's usual change of tone (EGR valve closing?) and the smoke went away. No amount of punishment could get it to smoke.
At lunchtime today I took it for a spin and no smoke on a "cold" engine.
I'll see in the morning what it does with a proper cold engine.
What could it be?
