Hi,I have a 2011 altea xl 1.6 tdi,from new,it’s been solid apart from a few repairs over the years and maintenance. But today it started to smoke a greyish smoke,no oil in the water tank or gunk in the oil ,idles fine,seems to have power,what could it be?
It sounds like water in the combustion, but where it gets in is a good question. I myself had problems with water in the combustion where my suspicion was the head gasket without getting it confirmed.
@@MichaelKroesehi mate,I had it checked it’s the dpf on its way out,and because I’ve been doing short journeys to work it builds up with soot,so I have to thrash it every other day to stop it smoking.
