Hello,

First post. I recently bought a second hand passat s tdi 130 auto (52 plate) and have a couple of issues that I would be grateful for advice on.

Occasionally when I put my foot down hard on the accelerator, the car doesn't pull very well, as if the turbo isn't kicking in. The engine then stays in this state until the ignition is switched on and off and then all seems to be fine again. At no time are there any warning lights on the dash.

Secondly, when pulling away from stationary, and regardless of how gentle or hard I accelerate away, a cloud blueish smoke is emitted from the exhaust(presumably smoke?).

Are either of these issues something to worry about?

Thanks in advance.
