Re: smokey tdi
E Tdi or m Tdi? Black smoke is excessive fuel.
it`s a big round cage and there`s too many animals in it for my liking. To help address this ring lee on 07977 765818.

Re: smokey tdi
any codes in the memory, if its etdi then you should be able to plug in a diag.

Re: smokey tdi
when's the last time you changed your air filter? surprising what a difference that makes

Re: smokey tdi
Hello,
diag plug and vag-com definitely worth it if you ask me - I'd check your intercooler pipes, and inlet post-maf and see if you have a slipped clip somewhere. Limp mode tends to kick in in higher gears and higher speeds, so you might not have caused it to kick in yet..
Good luck finding the problem
