Title: Smokey tdi 130
Post by: Mk2_tel on 22 October 2013, 09:54

I've not noticed much smoke but last Friday a friend was behind me said there was a lot of black smoke when I put my foot down and it stinks.
I have a custom map and my car is parked at work Monday till Friday.
I started my car and drive maybe half a mile before I put my foot down in 3rd to get past a lorry.
I hoping its because car has been stood all week and maybe still abit cold cheers

sounds normal

If you welly it from low down then you are chucking fuel in so it will smoke until the turbo gets up to speed and cleans it up

If it smokes all the time then you will have a boost leak or other issue
