Hi, Please be nice to me, this is my first and maybe my last post......
I have been reading some of the posts already made with regard to the Navara blowing smoke. We have a D22 2011 twin cab diesel ute which blows an inordinate amount of black smoke. Not just under load but everytime you drive it. It doesnt seem to be using more fuel, it chugs if driven under 2000rpms but doesnt seem to lose power. We put the cleaner fluid in the tank with no difference. we have had some part cleaned out at the local diesel shop. (I'm guessing it was the ERG? you have been talking about) and that made the chugging worse for about a week with no reduction in the smoke. We have had the battery disconnected and reconnected to apparently reset the computer for no change. We dont believe it is an injector problem because there is no loss of power. There has been a suggestion locally that it could be a stretched chain. What do you think of this idea? Given that they expect it to be a $4000 fix we would prefer not to go down this line so the other question I ask is do you think it is worth trying the ERG modification discussed in the forum and is this legal for resale when done?
