SOURCE: 2006 VW tdi black smoke while accelerating

Hi
The only sensible way forward is to get a list of fault codes from the onboard diagnostic system and take it from there. You could either go to a VW dealer, or if you are technically minded you could buy a £15 interface cable, download some free "VAG diagnostic software" and run it on a portable computer.
There are lots of possible reasons for the problem and guessing will not really help. If these suggestions turn out to be sound, please give my reply a "Fixya!"rating, If they do not, please hold off rating and add a comment with more details so I can try to help you further. Cheers, D

TDI 02 1.9 Jetta smoking and runs rough it sat for 7 years

When the engine sets, moisture can build up in the cylinders, causing rough walls and blow by past the rings. also seals can dry out allowing fluid and gasses to pass through? Fortunately, usually when you run it for a while it'll clear up. How long did you try to run it? Also if you have the same gas in it, that could cause a lot of smoke.

If you have a lot of black smoke then its over fueling getting to much diesel to the cylinder's. Sounds like an injector problem with the slight knocking noise. Che ck the return pipes are not blocked. If the smoke is dark brown then this is a problem with the valves on the intake manifold which control's the intake of exhaust emmisions.

2003 tdi automatic, smokes black on every start

Unless you want to scorch the nozzles and risk burning a hole in a piston, do NOT use John Deere conditioner in a TDI. The injection pressures/nozzles are not tolerant of John Deere conditioner. smoke = bad.....high egts....and high egts = melting valves. Smoke means soot, soot clogs the intake manifold and the vanes in the VNT, And soot from the EGR system. And once that soot is in there, it can harden to what you swear is something melded with your intake manifold's metal. Black smoke on a diesel is power you can see but not use, and the amount of over fueling required to produce it can have disastrous effects on the life expectancy of your engine. Melted or holed pistons, coked up injector tips, coked up rings, stuck vanes in the VNT turbo, all problems that can arise from a TDI that's constantly and consistently over fueled past the smoke limit. Leaving it in 2nd gear will have the turbo revving at a high rate and waring it out prematurely and can cause damage to the Vanes in the VNT for constant over boosting due to high revs. Good luck and i'ld look for a different mechanic who under stands Modern Diesel Racine Design Engines.
