Hi all,
I've not long bought a 2006 Octavia 2.0 TDI 170
The exhaust fumes smell really bad. Normal diesel exhaust smell but 10x worse. It kinda burns the inside of your nose and almost enough to make your eyes water.
Its not too noticeable while driving but if at in traffic its terrible. Also sometimes while idling its a little lumpy I'd say its worse when cold but still does it when warm. Sometimes seems a bit hesitant when put foot down around 2000-2500 rpm No smoke just a bad smell. It also purges if using cruise control at 30-40 mph or in low gears. It was worse when I tried giving it a clear out. Doing about 70mph in 4th around 4000rpm with cruise control on.
I've used a few full tanks of fuel with cleaner in and its made no difference. I've not checked the oil consumption yet but I'm getting 40mpg average but does go up to about 55mpg if sat at 70mph on motorway so I think fuel consumption is about right
Anybody have any ideas?
Thank in advance
