Black Smoke
« on: 31 March 2013, 17:49 »
Went to view a gt tdi 170 yesterday which has had the DPF deleted and been remapped. From cold when rev'ed hard there was a puff of black smoke each time. Is this normal?

I took it for a test drive and I didn't see clouds of black smoke behind me but forgot to check once stationary again.

Normal

You will get smoke when revved hard but it clears up if its tuned properly
