Puff of smoke....

Post by B18DUB »

Hi guys,

I have had my B6 (2010 Highline+ 140 Diesel) for about 18 months now with no problems but have noticed a couple of times recently a puff of white or grey smoke from the exhaust while driving.

It doesn't seem to be when accelerating, the last time I was halfway round a big roundabout so may have accelerated slightly but was basically staying the same speed...? Also, it doesn't seem to be losing oil or water.

It has a DPF so presume this stops the general black plumes of smoke you see with some diesels when accelerating...

Could it be the EGR?

Thanks for any replies or answers!

Cheers, Dub
