Hi Guys, I bought a mk2 tdi 2.0 2006 (18k miles) last weekend.. When I start the car from cold it is pumping out loads of white / blueish tint smoke until the engine has completely warmed up. Another thing I have noticed is that the coolant level dropped below min from above max in...

I have a 1.9 TDI 130 Ibiza (for 2 months now), I have noticed when left from cold to idle for a a few minutes (or when cold and idling and you rev a bit) there is visible grey exhaust smoke. Its fine when actually driving (or idling) and the engine is warmed up . I am used to a KA (Mrs car)...

Hi All, I have a "51" Alhambra 1.9TDi which has done about 98,000 miles. Last summer I had the misfortune for the 6Speed gearbox to catastrophically fail and had to be replaced together with a new clutch for good measure! So don't want to really get rid of yet as the resale won't be much...

Well... im not to sure what the problem may be but my dad said it could be valve problems but that could be wrong... basically at 70mph or over the car losses power also if you stop e.g. in the services it sounds like a diesel when you start it up again with a loudish ticking sort of noise...

I have searched, but found nothing conclusive on this issue.... When I first start my car from cold it chucks out a cloud of blue/whiteish smoke, and also does it when going from 1st to 2nd, and less so from 2nd to 3rd, with occasional large puffs on a trailing throttle. The problem seems to...

White Smoke - Leon FR 150 All, Got a remap last week, have just notived that when hammering it at full throttle and under quick response I sometimes get some white smoke in my rear view mirror. Is this normal for a REVO 190bhp Remap? Any advice would be much appreciated, Thanks,

I was driving back tonight (wk old FR TDI 450 miles) from work and through a pause in traffic i managed to press the accelerator for the turbo to kick in whilst in 2nd gear just to put a smile back on my face (nothing too harsh though) as i soon caught up with the traffic ahead. As i got...

Noticed this on Monday morning on the way to work. Had a bit of a blast on the dual carriageway on the way to work, and then slowed down in traffic coming into town. I then noticed an oily smell coming through the vents. SO I pulled over, popped the bonnet, and could see a few wisps of smoke...

My '98 Toledo TDI90 smokes really badly for the first 20 seconds or so after starting the engine. If you drive off straight away there's no smoke after about 10 seconds. When the engine's warm, if you rev it hard, all the way up to the rev limit, (in neutral) you get a tiny bit of smoke but...
