Hey all,
So a while back I installed a catless downpipe on my mk6 gti and ever since, the car has been smoking. It would produce white (haven't really seen the bluish hue yet) smoke as you start to go from a red traffic light, turning around a round-a-bout, at WOT (mainly whiteish-blackish smoke), and when coming to a full stop.
Also mentioning that I am straight piped with catless dp and deleted res+muffler.
I have noticed that the oil level on the dipstick would drop to MIN from MAX in about 1 weeks worth of driving (roughly 400-500kms).
Recently, I installed a Stage 2 tune with crackles and surprisingly during that week and a half of driving with crackles I experienced very little (if any) oil loss and smoke being expelled from the exhaust.
After realising how obnoxious those crackles are while being straight piped I re-tuned the car with no crackles, while still being stage 2. The oil loss and smoke from exhaust started coming again.
I'm just wondering why crackles would, in a way, fix the oil loss and smoking issue?
PS: no oil leaks
Also thinking about re-installing a muffler and res so I can keep the crackles without being too obnoxious.
Thanks in advance.
