Toyota Avensis 2.0 D4D 2007 - Sluggish/smokey Car

[bigyin]

Hi,

I am having a few problems with my car and I was wondering if someone can help? My car takes off very slowly in 1st gear with a puff off black smoke appearing at about 2000/2500 revs. It does this in second gear also. I have carried out the following but the car is still playing up:

Removed and cleaned EGR/Manifold

New Air Filter added

Oil/Filter Changed

Glow plugs Changed

Fuel Filter Change

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Big Yin

Air flow meter ?

Thanks Dervdave. How do you change it? Is there a 'how to guide' somewhere on this site.

Clean it with electric contact spray, that could help

Gave EGR and Manifold a deeper clean. Also cleaned Air Flow Meter and all is good. Cheers guys!!

Do you mean Intake manifold under EGR? Is it easy to remove it?

The car is running like a dream. For 100 quid I fully serviced my car and fixed the fault. I am sure it would've cost hundreds in a garage. Result!!!
