Just a quick question:
I was following the wife in her '06 2.0 TDI Sport 140, and noticed that at every gearchange / acceleration, there seemed to be a puff of black smoke from the exhaust. The car has only done 18k, and has just had it's first service. Oil consumption has only been about 1/2 litre in this time.
I've run diesels for a number of years now, (Citroen & Mercedes) and know that they tend cough up smoke when accelerating hard, but not usually at every gear change when driving normally. Also the tail pipes seem to be very sooty.
Has anyone else noticed this on their's or other Passats? Before I take a trip back to the dealer.
Also, does anyone have any thoughs on the use of Millers or Forte diesel additives?
Regards
Mark
