Hello, I have just bought a 1.8tddi (my first diesel) which seems to me to be a bit smoky, it's not severe, you can just see it in daylight but you can see it a lot more at night with others headlights behind, cruising along its fine - no smoke, but when you accelerate (and you don't have to floor it) you can see the grey smoke. I've just come in from testing it with the EGR valve vacuum pipe disconnected. It did seem different but not in a good way, basically it turned into a transit van, the engine seemed a lot nosier but the smoke was still the same. I've taken the turbo side intercooler pipe off to see if it was more oily than it should be but it seems fine. I'm not sure what to do next, any suggestions?
