GX 150. On startup a little black soot expels, again each time on acceleration while stationary (before warm up) and then after running for half an hour, when stationary and depressing the accelaerator more black soot out the exhaust.
Presuming this could be as a result of many different things, from minor to near catastrophic? One website I just googled lists the following potential options:
Incorrect timing
Dirty or worn injectors
Over-fuelling
Faulty turbocharger (ie not enough air to match the fuel)
Incorrect valve clearance
Incorrect air/fuel ratio
Low cylinder compression (eg sticking piston rings or worn components)
Dirty air cleaner
Restricted induction system (eg system too small or kinked inlet piping)
Other engine tune factors
Poor quality fuel
Excessive carbon build up in combustion and exhaust spaces
Cool operating temperatures
Where do i start? Just a decarbonizer as they try to sell you? Should i be rushing straight to the mechanic?
AS always appreciate the useful feedback found around here. If i'm asking something with an obvious answer elsewhere on the forum happy to be directed (and apologies in advance).
Cheers
