    Mkv Golf 2.0l TDI smoking question

    HI,

    I know its been covered in other threads, but im having trouble trying to get a clear idea.

    I've move this to a new thread from the EGC cleaning one. I recently purchased a 2005 TDI with 131.000k. Im new to TDI so im not sure if im being overly worried about the about of smoke with the car. I know diesels do smoke on heavy acceleration, but mine seems to do it even on gentle inclines, possibly when the turbo kicks in. There is also a strange "pulsing or hesitation of teh throttle when its held around the 2-2300 RPM (with or without the cruise control on. The rest of the engine is fine, no lack of power or anything untoward.

    It actually only seems to smoke from 2 to 3000rpm then its clear.

    Could it be injectors, turbo seals?

    Just trying to work out the best plan of attack, whether its a lemon and i throw it back at the dealer, or if its a intake/EGC cleanout, etc.
    My first Modern VW!
    2005 Golf 2.0l TDI, DSG.

    It's hard without seeing it, so thecbest is to take it to the mechanic. You can use independent VW workshop. Try Camden GTI.
