have a pajero 2. 8 turbo diesel with 350000km on clock. last 12 mths or so have noticed much worse black smoke under load or when accelerating after constant throttle.also now getting hard to cold start even though i have replaced injectors, filters and glow plugs. car is generally in exc. condition and suits us as 2nd vehicle(we have td100 as main vehicle). any clues? i can get lowk motor for $2950,and will do so if necessary peter

i also wonder if diesel/gas conversion would eliminate black smoke as i understand that the smoke is unburnt diesel peter

I wonder what the compressions are like. Sounds like over-fuelling or worn piston/bores???

Gday Peter,, i have the 2.3TD in
mine & had a similar problem which caused masses of smoke to pour out the back while under load, gutless performance & use oil to the tune of 1litre per 20 klm,, everyone told me it was the rings & it was knackered & i'd be up for $3K for a low K engine,, turned out to be the turbo seal & i had a spare turbo from a wreck in the shed, which fixed the problem,,,,for free!!
May not be your solution, but it may be worth checking other possibilities before hauling out a mighty pajero engine that at 350,000k's is only just bedding in for a lifetime of trouble-fee service?
best of luck.

Same story a while ago.After a air fuel meter and an ecu unit were tested,the turbo itself needed replacing. It took the mechs two weeks to work it out.Stuffed up my hols bigtime. And they were long time mechs with experience on my vehicle [not a truck]

some people put switches in their diesels to create black smoke.
So you are ahead of some
black smoke means unburnt fuel ...
probably an airflow/temperature/boost problem and/or turbo.
Injectors are only responsible when they allow too much flow
I don't know the Pajeros so would not have a tip.
good luck

The fact that you have fitted new glow plugs and it is still hard to start would indicate worn rings . As Footy said get a compression
test
