ok - so a funny thing happened on the on-ramp to the Sydney M4.

I accelerate My Mk5 GT Sport (125kw with DPF) down the on-ramp (~100kph), and changed gears 4th to 5th, and all of a sudden the car just rev's its guts out for 3 seconds and then loads of smoke comes out from under the front...

Have a 2008 Polo GTI thats done 140k with an intermittent smoking issue. Initially when the car was stock I didn't notice this at all. I did a few mods (2.5" Catless downpipe, Turbosmart recirc valve, Forge TIP).

It was fine for a month or 2 but I started seeing smoke when coasting...

I have a 2011 T5 Multivan and I've been having issues with light grey/blue smoke coming from the exhaust. To try and fix the issue I have recently had the turbos replaced and that has fixed the issue slightly but there is still some smoke coming from the exhaust. The smoke doesn't blow all the time....

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...

I have been having this issue for a while now where intermittent white smoke will starting coming out from under the hood when I stop at traffic lights or pull over. Most of the time the smoke is not consistent/heavy enough to show the source when the hood is opened as the smoke dissipates quickly....

Hi all! Needing a little hope and maybe some insight to a problem which is occurring under the bonnet.

Today I started the car and was met with a loud squelching noise for about 5-7 seconds coming from the engine. I turned off the car soon afterwards, didn’t drive it, and looked under...

My wife's 2.0 litre FSI non-turbo Golf V suddenly has a very bad idle which is giving an error message of 008825-leak in air intake system P2279-008-MIL ON, plus 000768-random/multiple cylinder misfire detected and 000769-cylinder 1 misfire.

I've done a search for these error codes and...

G'day,
Any help would be really appreciated. I am getting (mainly) white smoke on acceleration and am struggling to find out what is causing it.
The biturbo needed to be replaced after it broke down. No air going through after the turbos failed.
No loss of coolant.
Now very...

Hey All,

Hi ...I have a 2012 118 tsi, it has had the piston rebuild back in 2015 and doesnt use any oil, however it has started to blow a bit of white/grey smoke occasionally. I fear the worst.....any idea on what it could be ? It also has some intermittent starting issues.

Hi all. Having an issue with my aircon resistor. It blew a while ago so the aircon would only work on 4 - the highest, and smoke came out of the vents and a burning smell. It was replaced and only lasted a week before it happened again. The fuse also blew for the actual blower. Replaced that and that...

Hi All,



did a search regarding smoke, but could only find a couple posts referring to PD engines, not CR.
also had a search around Briskoda and couldn't find anything consistent with the behaviour I am observing.

Hi all I’ve recently purchased a 2000 t4 2.5 petrol lwb. Very well knowing the fact it’s going to have its problems I still wanted it to convert into a camper and travel up the coast in it. Car ran fine for the first month I have had it besides a few basic issues like the ignition switch and passenger...

Hi all, this morning to my horror I had white smoke billowing from under the hood! I pulled over to inspect what I though was going to be a fire.Initially was thinking it was a regeneration going wrong.Bad smell made the hangover all that much worse...White smoke, called mechanic and he said I had most...

I have an issue with my 1.8t golf and can not figure out what is going on. I was driving back from the next town and all of a sudden as soon as the car comes on boost its misses chucks out loads of smoke then dies. Then after cranking the engine for a while it finally starts and then goes again. ...
