Smoky Diesel - New Battery

---

Hi All,
First post here but thought I'd share a finding I stumbled upon recently. Have had our 2010 1.5dCi for nearly 3 years now and it has always been really smoky when you put your foot down. We had it serviced and nothing improved, were resigned to the fact that at only 65k miles it was just a smoky mota.
Recently it started struggling when turning over and the dash recommended a new battery was needed. I obliged (pig of a job) and the interesting thing, to me at least, it that since the new battery went in it's not smoky at all!
Thought I'd share as a new battery is not that expensive and I'm hoping it may now even improve the fuel economy! Any thoughts?
Regards,
Dave
