GTD delayed again !

[Keithuk]

Keith you quote "Flat Tyre Indicator £35" Why you say that? Does it quote the actual psi or does it just tell you you have a flat when your car's rumbling along with masses of black smoke in the rear view mirror?

Thats the standard Flat Tyre Indicator here. You can't have the full TPMS as an option on the GTD not that I need it after seeing the indirect ABS version working. I have one tyre that looses 3-4psi every 3-4 weeks. When the light comes on with the bleep I check the pressures all round and there is one thats dropped while the others (not all) may have only dropped 0.5psi. I pump it up to 36psi turn the ignition on and press the Set button in the glovebox then we are ok for another 3-4 weeks.

No there is no black smoke out of mine.

Well folding door mirrors and cruise control have been standard on Seats for years.

Not on the Seat I'm sat on..........

Impossible, all diesels are the work of the devil and always blow out black smoke everywhere they go when they arn't blocking DPF's up and in turn having their warranty's voided because they've been remapped

Yes folks it's one of those days

Well my both of my friends at work witrh 2005 Seat Leons 1.9 TDI both have them as standard fitment so they have been fitted for years.

Thats bull Doc they don't push out black smoke unless there is something wrong with them. Unless its only happens in your cases because your remapping them?

[Mr_F]

I only saw black smoke out the back as my tyre was being chewed on the blow out, I may have been the wrong side of 70....and was struggling with non-existent gaps in traffic to get over.  I should add I do a lot of foreign driving, ahem!

My current 134k Mile Audi A4 1.9tdi 130+ GMBH model doesn't smoke at all, not remapped and uses all manor of fuels from supermarkets, BP and posh numbers.  Somewhat loathed to get rid really, but the gf says I need something faster.

I said I was fast in bed, but that didn't help my argument.  So rule is, when your gf says you need a faster car, don't argue!

Just smile and wave as you head off the showrooms

Have you ever laughed at a joke Keith?

[Keithuk]

Yes but sometimes its hard to differentiate as many a true word it said in jest. Top Gear say that about diesels, the devils fluid but as the forum title says and sarcasm since '02.

[am1w]

Diesels do push out black smoke and there is nothing wrong with this.
Would white or grey smoke be preferable? Doc was not joking.

[Keithuk]

White or grey is just as bad.

You're kidding me ........
