hi guys, just recently bought a golf tdi mk5!!! #happyboy
anyway straight to the problem, ive looked around and know that diesels smells... but should it be a really strong smell?
cos my missus complain that it smells really bad.. and i believe that thats a normal diesel smell...
also ive noticed that the car smokes when i accelerate, i thought that it was just the unburnt fuel.. but other saying it could be the turbo (also new to turbo cars as well). the funny thing is was that when i put it in park, and go behind the car to have a proper examination while the missus steps on the pedal, there seems to be only smoke coming out when shes flooring it.. so the problem occurs while im driving not when parked.. #strange
i am going to have it checked out later today by my mechanic.
just wondering if this is a common issue with other golf tdi's or any turbo diesel cars.
i also come to term that, i MIGHT need to change the EGR or DPF.. and how would that usually cost? to fix.
just some details about the car...
