Try changing the Fuel and air filter. This worked for me on my Lucida and my old Town Ace.

Hi there - have a look at the Toyota Estima Owners club site as there are detailed threads on this topic there. Just do a search on 'black smoke' and you'll find it.

Cheers

When I took my sister in laws old xantia diesel for an mot a while ago it failed on emissions. The guy testing it said drive it up the dual carriage way up the road in first or second and hold it on the rev limiter for about half a mile then bring it back. It passed OK afterwards, he reckons that if you do a lot of town driving the exhaust system gets partly clogged with soot, a good hard blast often clears it out.
