Fiat Ducato: Black smoke and engine problems when accelerating
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2015 Fiat Ducato owner is experiencing black smoke and engine stuttering when accelerating, along with a Hill Holder warning. Initial suggestions include checking the air filter, which was found to be fine, and inspecting the fuel injectors for clogs. A faulty oxygen sensor is also considered a potential cause, as it can lead to incorrect fuel-air mixture readings.

Check the air filter first to ensure it's not clogged, as this can cause black smoke and poor engine performance. Let us know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
Hello. Air filter ok, DPF, new mass air flow sensor, new boost pressure sensor, new hoses replaced, EGR cooler, new thermostat with sensor, new DRV, EGR cleaned, intake manifold cleaned.

Since you've already addressed many potential causes, the next step is to inspect the fuel injectors for any signs of clogging or malfunction, as they can contribute to black smoke and engine stuttering. Consider having them tested or cleaned professionally. Let us know how it goes or if you have more questions.
