04 3.0 loss of power & smoking a bit from exhaust - colovers
Hi, Advice please. I have a 53plate 530d, and i have recently been getting a loss of power at high revs and cloud of black smoke. Driving normally i get no smoke, just when i put my foot down. I recently changed my air filter, which was black and had remnants of oil or soot? Any ideas?? i've been told it might be crank bearing pressure filter or fuel filter???
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks,

Col
