Thanks for the replies

Re: Smoker

Well, that got a few of you talking, thank you very much for the advice.

Smoker

Hi all, I wonder if you can help. I have noticed a bit of smoke from the exhaust lately and when my car went for its MOT, it had trouble with the smoke test. It did pass eventually but only just. The car is a 2003 1.9 TDI with 97k miles on it. Has anyone got any ideas what I can do?
Thanks in ...
