smoke

Hey all, Just recently people have commented that my car appears to be smoking, which I'm sure I've not noticed before, nor has anyone commented on it. I did notice it on an RR day recently, but was only a very small amount. After a 30 mile drive, the car was switched off for about an...

I dont really have a problem with black smoke. I get the usual puff of smoke when flooring it which goes away but i was just wondering if Millteks can cause more smoke? Cheers

My ibiza cupra tdi is smoking white. Its when you put your foot down in higher gears I get a puff of white/grey smoke then it goes away. Its had this all the time once it has been mapped just wonderd what it is. There is no loss of performance etc. It has a custom map, full milltek aswell.

the great way the yanks detect an exhaust leak is to put some sea foam which is an engine cleaner that is taken through a manifold vacuum line which creats a fairly large ammount of smoke out the exhaust. this will also pour out of any leak in the exhaust system. is there any other product...

Had my FR150 mapped monday. When mapped and testing car the roads were wet so wheels spun in third (never got to really test it in 4,5,6). After when the roads were dry it started slipping the clutch in third at just over 2K, will do this in 3,4,5,&6 gears. It also is now chucking out a bit more...

Hi people, I get a fair puff of blueish smoke out the exhaust when travelling at low speed i.e. in a traffic cue or crawling, not very often but noticable. Is this any thing to worry about or is it just normal:shrug: Its a 2.0TDI Cheers Tom

driving home - mate behind me said you've got smoke coming out of exhaust when I put my foot down - My friend blipped the accelerator didn't notice anything until revs got higher and a small black puff of smoke and some popping - done a log(block 20) and noticed under load they were...

On Monday night I was almost home after a 40 mile round trip (gentle motorway driving around 80MPH), and pulled into the local Tesco Express garage. As I did I felt an unfamiliar vibration or two and knew something was wrong. Turned the car on after getting some shopping and it was idling really...

Hey guys, Just purchased my FR+ TDI (55 plate). It has been remapped by the previous owner to supposidly 205 bhp but not 100% sure about the actual horse power. I've taken the top engine cover off and the turbo and air hoses look newer than the rest of the engine bay. When I drive the car...

Another problem added to the smoke :( just wondering is there anything under the heatshield that can cause smoke, as just from yesterday there was smoke coming from under it once the engine is hot. not huge clouds of it, but enough to notice it, and there's a smell of burning. dont know what it...

When I start my engine there is quite a bit of smoke comming from my back box (on the car!!!) ..... what could this be? After a few minutes it clears ..... oil change needed (last one was about 1 year ago)? :shrug: Please help Jim

I've noticed latley that my car has been letting of a fair bit of smoke (more than usual), i took it to my garage who had a look and noticed that my oil was like treacle, so they recomended an oil change. So i had that done, but it still smokes alot. Is this really bad news?
