    I'm new to the forum so want to say Hello first of all.

    I have a 2007 Passat with the PD170 engine, manual gearbox and currently have a list of problems that I'm not sure are related or not. Currently had the car just over 1 year and the smell was present when I bought it but don't remember it being so bad.

    I've been hunting various forums but not really getting an idea of what it could be.

    So I've got a couple days off work and want to do some investigating.

    The first noticeable problem is that the cars exhaust fumes absolutely stink, there's whitish / very light grey smoke coming from the exhaust especially when it's warming up.

    On WOT occasionally the car seems to lose all power just for a split second then picks up speed as expected other than that symptom there doesn't seem to be any loss of power, there also quite a lot of smoke for a car that I thought had a DPF.

    The engine is quite rough when first started although it starts first time everytime.

    When in lower revs around 1200 to 2000rpm the engine sounds quite rough almost like there's a heavy vibration coming from the engine bay which is more noticeable on hills.

    MPG seems to be normal and no unusual sounds from the turbo.

    It's consuming some oil but not enough that I'd say is a big concern.

    Also I noticed that when I bought the car the fuel filter was black, so changed it with a quality new filter and less than a year later I serviced the car and noticed the fuel filter was black again.

    I don't really know anything about the 2.0tdi so appreciate any help or advice you guys can give.

    I plan to have it scanned on VCDS if I can find an Independent garage local so I don't need to pay out big bucks but in the mean time I'd like to have a look for any mechanical problems you guys might suggest looking at.

    Thanks in advance

    I'll have it scanned soon just wondering if there's any areas I can look at while I have some free time. Is the EGR easy enough to take off on this engine to clean?

    I've read in quite a few forums that the cam torsion value can cause some of these symptoms it's a bit of a longshot I'm wondering if there's anyone in my area with VCDS that doesn't mind checking these for me for some £££ in Medway, Kent
