I recently got my Leon FR 1.8T remapped and now a few days later the car has developed a loud blowing which smells like exhaust. It started out just an occasional noise, now it has progressed to constant when the engine is cold, a little noisy when warm with no throttle and loud with any sort of acceleration or power.
My mechanical knowledge is pretty limited but from above the engine bay I cannot see any loose or cracked hoses. Parking one side of the car on the curb and crawling underneath doesnt show anything obvious although the view you get isnt particularly good or meaningful to me !
Vagcom shows no engine faults. I think the power is down (it seemed to be OK at first) but now it doesnt have the power but then it could just be me not wanting to use much throttle because the noise/potential damage.
I am thinking somewhere between exhaust out of engine and into turbo is the problem but I would expect some sort of engine fault in Vagcom if that was the case. Unfortunately I dont have full Vagcom so cant do requested vs actual boost.
Any suggestions ?
