Hi there,

Basically I have read numerous threads relating to excessive smoking but up to now I have had the following done already:

NEW HEAD GASKET

CLEANED THE EGR MYSELF

THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD A NEW CAT FITTED 12 MONTHS AGO

But I am still getting alot of Greyish Black smoke, I have only had the car 2/3 weeks, I have started to fill up with Shell V power, I have ran the vehicle with 1 tank full already and just filled up with BP Ultimate and also added double dose of Millers Eco additive.

If the problem is a build up of carbon how long will it take for the BP fuel & Millers to take effect?

Also is the Particulate filter in the Cat? or any other suggestions as the car is booked in a garage tomorrow to have the rear parking sensors fixed.

Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks
