Hello, my vehicle is a diesel. The exhaust pipe pulls out black smoke but also under the bonnet to the left below the thrust roll.

Hello,

When a diesel engine blows black smoke it meas the injector pump is going out due to low pressure. This is a common problem.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
