Welcome to diesel ownership

Do a search for cage mod, should help. Also have you got a PD160 air intake on there, thats said to help aswell

I would also check the air filter as well, if this is chocked it will make her smoke a little more than usual.

A side effect of running on the devil's petrol :P

If after you've checked everything above then check the air intake pipe from the airbox - Lots of smoke can be a sign of an air leak on the intake allowing unmetered air into the engine.

cheers peeps willl cheak all of them thanks for that kind of new to the vrs thing so bear with me lol

Boost leak maybe?

how can i check for a bost leak and how will i tell

you wont have all the power, and you will hear it, trust me on that :lol:

just to inform you guys have taken the vrs to skoda and they say that all fabia vrs modles smoke a bit , wat you guys think

If it concerns you then perhaps compare it to another car.

just to inform you all that the reason for the smoke was a boost leak. as i found that the air inlet from the air box to the turbo was not connected properly with the clip just pushed

on by hand by the looks of things .

This is a common problem as the jubilee clips used are a bit weak. Glad it's sorted

Chris

yea its alot better on deisel aswell lol . im going to bug some better jubile clips tmoz to sort it propper

I've seen recommendation of marine jubilee clips which will not budge, so might be worth hunting down some of them......

Chris

Glad you got it sorted matey

Not so quickly there padawan

Re-read the posts and then I think you find I get the donut :P;)

he says it was a boost leak first, then says it was from the air box :p, so i think i get the biscuit first

Ahh but boost is pressure side and airbox to turbo is inlet side.

I demand a re-count
