Anyone any remedies for a smokey Mk3 Golf TDI (N reg). 155k!
It smokes badly from cold particularly at slower speeds and gearchanges, the smoke is blueish and rather annoying / embarassing. However once the car reaches operating temperature it runs clean. I have had it checked at a reputable general garage and they could find no faults.
I have tried letting it warm up for 5mins but the car doesn't seem to want to reach operating temp until it has been driven at 4th and 5th gear speeds for a reasonable distance. Sadly my commute is stop start fro the first 8mile which probably doesnt help.
Any suggestions appreciated.
