Basil_Brush Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'm getting a lot of grey (not black) smoke at startup from cold. Otherwise engine starts and runs perfectly. I don't think it's a pre-heater as the engine sounds ok (it doesn't sound rough). Once engine starts the grey smoke disappears but exhaust fumes can be smelt inside the car. Any suggestions ?

Basil_Brush Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Apparently, according to my MOT man, it could be either the exhaust manifold leaking or the air re-circulation value. I've booked it in at VW even though I had to spell the word "air" to the booking in girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Did you need to spell "head" to her as well? Hope you get it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 At least it'll be under warranty, won't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
