smoke from engine in my new superb

[Henrik Frontoviki Sandb]

Just got my new cat two weeks ago. Today the smoke came out under the bonnet. No clue what happened ? Smells like burned oil I didnt take a chance driving it. So a truck picked it up. Its a 1.6cr engine. Does anybody know a known fault ?

Possibly not a fault but active DPF regen happening. See this topic from a couple of weeks ago...

Does it sound familiar?

It could be DPF regen though I've never heard of smoke only a smell.

I once had something similar on another car (not a Skoda) and it was a heated washer jet had got too warm and burned out. On that car the jets are in the air intake for the heater / aircon so the smoke / smell came in. Scary I tell you!

My Yeti was making loads of smoke on Tuesday night, fans were full on and idle was at 1,000rpm, it stank too! A regen, all was ok when I got home 6 miles later.

thanks for replys. Im quite sure its not dpf. Im quite used to that smell. This was a stong smell and real smoke coming out. Could also be a smell of melted plastic ? Ill update tomorrow when i speak to garage !

On my last two Superb MkII's the DPF was at the top rear of the engine well up in the engine compartment, unless the DPF has been repositioned I see no way that salt or any thing could be deposited on it unless driven through deep water at a speed high enough to almost flood the compartment.

the DPF on my present MY11 after two years is as bright and shiny as the day I received it from the dealer.
