Hi all,
Yeah I know this isn't a vag forum but lets face it, the diesel engines work in the same way anyway (bar the injectors being in a daft place on mine).
Basically I've noticed a really odd thing happening last couple of days....Ive been driving slowly since having the golf back OTR, very rarely hitting boost (1800rmp ish) as I dont enjoy it so might aswell save fuel. Now I know driving like this will make it smoke a bit when it does get a boot passed a cyclist or off a slip road............but the smoke carries on for a second or two after I let my foot off.....now theres no fuel going in at that point so surely it shouldn't smoke then!?
Also, not sure if its related, but the map sensor (located on the IC on these) wiring had a slight accident with one of the pulleys.
I thought I'd tucked it well out of the way but some harsh cornering/braking must have dislodged it.....the pulley wore a hole in the hard plastic wiring case and started on one of the wires but I caught it just in time (i think) before the wire actually broke...although I reckon a few of the copper strands have gone......I just taped it up for now and moved it. Just wondered if that could cause the map sensor some odd readings at the ECU...however the eml isn't on, but I have no way of checking codes now that college has finished.
So yeah..........why is there smoke after boost, and have i shagged the map wiring or will it be ok?
Cheers
Tom
