Blue/Black Smoke from Exhaust

Post by FreakShow! »

Hi all,

I've owned my 2010 B7 Passat since January. In July it had its service where they highlighted the EGR maybe needing replacing and something to do with a sleave around the exhaust. As nothing had come up on my dashboard as an error I was happy to continue.

Today on my drive home though, I noticed out the back window some smoke coming out the back when I accelerated quite hard. There's nothing on the dashboard still. I'm not sure if I'm still OK to drive it tomorrow, or whether a run on the motorway will help at all?
