Was tinkering around in Manual Mode in stop start traffic on the Eastern, managed to replicate the HUGE smoke cloud!
Must've scared the tailgater behind me, left a lazy 1km gap after haha!
As others have said, fuel dump

It's not fuel dump, it's when the engine labors in too low a gear and pumps more fuel into the engine to try and accelerate more.

Kaanage and sedate driver don't go in the same sentence my friend, I do recall seeing some recent photos at Philip island....Sell the GTi and get a 9N3 Pacific TDi - although the 9N3's lack some of the refinement of the 6R, the 1.9 PD will drive off idle and are great for creeping about in traffic plus they don't have a DPF to clog up.

Seriously, given your comments, I'd have a look at a 9N3 Pacific TDi for interest if nothing else.

I think is the same we have here, I had this car for 8 years, done 250.000Kms without any problem and was really fast
Mine actually was 9N, with 101hp, the next 9N3 had 130hp...
