Smokey exhaust

Robti · 23rd May 2015, 11:02

Hi posting on behalf of my brother his '03 diesel tourer has started to blow smoke when he changes down or accelerates, had an oil and filter change 6 month ago and due to be changed again in the next week.

So any ideas on what to check for the smoke ?

Thanks

Might worth changing/cleaning the PCV filter do a search on here, can cause your brothers symtons.

Another cause is leaky seals on the intercooler duct. Easy and cheap to fix. HowTos on the forum and 0rings available from the traders shops, eBay, etc. Get the vitron type.
