smoke at red line


Recommended Posts

Had a sticky turbo causing intermittent limp mode. So tried Mr Muscle in Feb,  seemed ok for 2 months.

Started to use Shell low sulphur diesel, now put about £70 in total in.

Regularly thrash it in 2nd and 3rd. On the lasted occasion I changed from 3rd  (4500RPM) into neutral and got a large puff of grey smoke out the exhaust.

Presumably this is carbon built up in the turbo coming out when the actuator changed size at the gear change, which is good. Nothing untoward from the car.
