Does anyone know of a good diesel specialist in the NE of Melbourne?
My patrol (3.0 crd) is blowing black smoke. I don't notice it from the cab except when taking off on a hill but people following me on trips all mention it.
I am am not sure if the injectors are on the way out or if it's caused by the remap l had done 3 years ago. Engine has done 180,000 km and the boost is fine (15-18 psi). The car runs well but not very clean.

Thanks Hodge. I will look them up.
Has anyone had any experience with Rankin Diesel in Bayswater? It's a little further out but maybe a go as well. Their reviews are good.

No personal experience with RD mate but they were truly very well regarded from old diesel mates years ago. I ran and serviced own old petrols on the cheap back then so never visited but would have I reckon from listening. Since converting to diesel circa 2005ish we've used Andy from Diesel Tec and happy for us tunes always.

Had experience with Rankin years ago and were very professional from memory.

I would say it will be the Remap, as it will be dumping more fuel in as part of the process....

Have used Rankin twice, bit on the dear side but solid work. Found they also would only tune to factory specs, no dyno on site, so this could be a limiting factor - but it was a while ago, maybe they have changed?

JPC, Diesel Tec as mentioned, 4x4 Solutions in Bundoora, 4x4 Obsession in Melton (they do a lot of Patrols), steer clear on Turbo Engineering in Thomastown.

Thanks for the info guys. The Patrol is due for a service so I will take it in to 4x4 Solutions and get them to take a look. They serviced the car last time.
They don't have a Dyno though so can't check the AFR.

Had the Patrol serviced at 4x4 Solutions. Everything checked out and they suggested it’s just over fueling due to the remap. Called JPC and they seemed pretty switched on. Need to find time to get the car over there for a dyno run. Not sure what they can do though. There may be an option to retune it with a unichip but would be very expensive.
