I am scared about about my Holden Jack 3.0l turbo diesel... (215k on the clock)
It started to blow heavy black smoke, that smoke comes up when I change gears or even if I just press the accelerator in idle.
It also looses power and runs rough.
If I push the accelerator hard down it feels like it gets to much fuel and drowns in it.
Another thing is that the engine light turns on after I drive for about 2 minutes and it turns off after five minutes.
I am not driving it anymore as I do not want it make worse.
A RAC guy had a look at it and he seemed to be clueless, he said may the injector pump.
I didn't want to tow the car to a mechanic and then have no money to fix it.... so I got a guy from Lube Mobile Mechanics to have a look at it.
He said he can't see black smoke...,
"of course there is black smoke..."
However, he cleaned the EGR valve but no change at all. He also mentioned that the turbo is about to go slowly and the injectors as well.
May related to the issues:
Some month ago I had the car overheating and I brought it to a mechanic, he said that an o ring was missing on a pipe which goes into the motor block, just behind the aircondition comporessor. He said that somebody did work already on that spot :-(
OK, the coolant is still leaking after he did fix the issue, it seems to be the same spot as before.
Additional: the coolant is green and seems to be not mixed with diesel but it smells stronger as in the coolant bottle.
The oil looks alright to me so far, last service is 15k kilometers ago (i know, i moved it past Christmas), i use penrite 5-40 diesel oil.
Car needs desperate a full service.
Thank you for your time

Usually the car gets a full service all 7k.
