bit more black smoke than usual?

Featured Replies

Hi to all. I have a mk1 fabia vrs no engine mods. Can anyone think of why it would be smoking quite a bit more than usual. I replaced the turbo around 20 thousand miles ago its just turned 70 thousand so miles arent too high. still under warranty so its booked in a week on monday to get this checked out so no problem if no one can help. Just wandering if it could be a simple fix. Thanks

boost leak?,, clogged air filter?,, sh1tty diesel?

Dont know much about engines like but isnt loosing power and its ALWAYS run on shell vpower. Ill get the air filter checked out though cheers. would a boost leak make it loose power?

Probably the warm weather. Warm weather = poor combustion as the air isn't very dense

Yer I was guna say this hot weather too, mine is producing alot more hazey smoke in it.

As above, especially if you are running a stock smic

Yup, Hot weather and possibly a dirty air filter.

Your performance probably seems a little down on normal too.

Ok thanks alot everyone. As long as it isnt anything serious :o

Fabias arent fans of the heat. Mine is stock as well and been noticing a bit more smokeyness in the heat, but nothing noticeably wrong with boost leaks or the like.
