hi guys im new to the site and wondered if anyone had any ideas on a problem i have with my vrs oil burner. basically after buying the car (after swapping it with a polo tdi sport) i noticed an amount of black sooty smoke on start up and at certain times when driving, namely when flooring the throttle temporarily in no particular gear. i never had any smoke from my polo tdi which has the same engine basically! hence i decided to investigate and found that 2 glow plugs (1 & 3 from t/belt end) were kaput, after doing a resistance test. i replaced them and found 3 days later they too are now blown and covered in sooty residue again. incidentally i have stripped and cleaned the egr and maf and replaced air filter. the timing belt was replaced a year ago but was wondering that the timing may be out slightly hence the smoke from the exhaust. any ideas would be appreciated guys. thanx
