98 XJ 2.5 TD - black smoke

Aug 06, 2003 0 Replies

Hi experts,



recently I bought a 98 Cherokee 2.5TD Sport which throws out black smoke on accelerating and a black cloud when passing about 2000 rpms. Maybe this is a known problem or just a 'feature'? Any ideas what I could check?



A second small question: maybe somebody knows where to find more details about the VM 2.5 TD motor, a repair guide or service manual?



Thanks for any help, Dirk
