Hi,

 

I have recently got a IS220D which i am quite happy with, but upon acceleration, mainly from 2nd to 3rd i get a puff of black smoke out of the exhaust, its generally if i accelerate hard there tends to be black smoke.

 

Is this a common item??  any suggestions for an easy fix?

 

Thanks

 

Nick

Seems to me that it is either EGR sticking or DPF starting to regenerate when you getting up-to speed/revs/temp - regular EGR maintenance ~every 3000-6000 miles would be good preventative measure as otherwise it causes rest of the parts to fail that follow (turbo and DPF). DPF regen is just part of embarrassing diesel ownership, but in itself it is normal process and actually necessary to clean all the dirt which accumulates in DPF.

How recently did you get the 220D? Unless you were planning on doing some serious miles you may have been better off getting an IS250 as the 220D's while not awful cars were very unreliable and have a number of issues that are well documented on the forum. The IS250 seems to achieve very comparable MPG to the Diesel without any of the associated issues so I'd consider taking the car back if that is an option at all.

That is true, sadly most people only come to the forum after purchasing their 220d and nobody comes to check about the cars before the purchase. As you said, with exception of extreme high miles (20k+) I can't see how IS220d could make more sense than IS250.
