Smoke/Reconditioning

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I bought a 1993 Hilux LN106, 2.8 TD, 4wd, 18 months ago. Was only supposed to be a short relationship but now I want to sweeten her up.

Anyways, I am blowing some large amounts of smoke under acceleration but not under idle. What should be the first things I should check? Have done regular oil changes/ fuel filter and she has 325k on the odometer.

Is it worth just going for a full recon or not?

Injector Clean? A simple compression test can tell you if you need a reco.if you have good compresion then chances are its a problem elsewhere.

Sorry i just noticed you have a TD.. Aftermarket turbo's arent reccomended on these diesels. you will shorten the life of the engine dramatically.
