hi guys

well ive my fabia vrs now for a week and what a week it as been , what a laugh to see the local boyracers disapearing into background. :rofl:

my question is this whan i put my foot down i get a puff off black smoke is this the norm with diesel engines or have i got a prob

quite normal, no problems.... try some nice BP ultimate , or Shell V-power, or bio-diesel, may reduce the smoke a bit....... but it's nothing to worry about

it will smoke more if you boot it from below 2000 revs, try booting it from above those revs, and it will smoke less

Hi

Yeh i believe this is completely normal, My vrs has always done the same and i have owned it 9 months. Slightly less smoke with pd160 air intake though.

thanks fellas i will try that

Once you've seen how mine smokes, you'll never worry about yours again.

Don't try Shell V-Power as the V-Power derv isn't over in the UK Yet!

it will smoke more if you boot it from below 2000 revs, try booting it from above those revs, and it will smoke less

Doing this your clutch will like you a bit more too, and last longer

But yes, perfectly normal. Jase, where's the link to that video of you going round a track, with plumes of smog in your wake?

The Hemel Hempstead oil fire couldn't prepare you for the smoke seen coming out of The Mongrel [TM]

Normal, but it used to make me panic!

Devonutopia's car couldn't be as bad as my old 306 D turbo!!

Once you reach 150bhp with one of them they become rather smokey!!!

My remapped VRS smokes real bad as I go through 1500RPM. As you all say, its fine above this.

I cant remember it smoking anywhere near as bad pre map.
