Some have told me it is time for a new catalytic converter on my Jetta TDI. Others have said if I drive 120 mph for an hour the converter will get real hot and burn off all the crud that is preventing it from cleaning up the stinky smell.
Dirty air filter, bad air flow sensor, incorrect injection timing, incorrect IQ setting are things I look at in my car.
