E Tdi or m Tdi? Black smoke is excessive fuel.

Hi, its a E TDI (german conversion ecu etc) had a friend behind me in wales camping the other week who also said it was a bit smokey too.

any tips ?

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

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
