Exhaust fumes when pressed hard

Featured Replies

Has anyone else had this problem. When pressing hard, you get a very faint exhaust fume smell. It's a 6 month old vRS petrol TSI and I had it remapped at the last group buy so don't know if this has anything to do with it. If I had to put my finger on when it started, it would be after I pushed it hard in first gear on one occasion to pass a vehicle. It seems ok with normal driving but comes back after I push past 3000 revs (but no more than 4-4500), have I got some sort of air leak before or after the turbo?

Mine does it as well. Wouldnt worry about it.
