I have a 2005 (55 reg) Mondeo TDCi 115 hp (85Kw) estate. It has done 116k miles and was left standing for 2 years before I got it. I have serviced it (New oil/air/fuel filters/proper oil change, including flushing) and fitted a new EGR valve and thermostat. I have put Redex in the tank.
I runs fine now BUT when you accelerate hard, particularly from low revs, a big cloud of grey/black smoke comes out of the exhaust. It doesn't seem to smoke any other time and nothing shows up on the diagnostics.
Does anyone have any ideas please?
Edit:
Also..... When starting from cold, there is no reaction to movement of the accelerator pedal. it fires up and ticks over (a bit rough) but pressing the pedal has no reaction but after a couple of seconds it does and the the accelerator works normally. The tickover is a bit rough when cold but improves as it gets warm.
