Smoke Comming From Underneath

[Guest monty 40]

hi,

 

i have a galaxy tdi 130hp 18 months old which i have from new, to my horror i have just noticed lots of grey smoke comming from undrneath the car.

 

it is like oil burning and smells.

 

upon inspection it is not the exhaust system, it is comming from a thin pipe on the nearside just inside the sill and before the rear axle.

It looks like some form of a vent pipe.

 

Any ideas what this can be?

Nope not a clue! this is a new one to us B) you could always try using the search button, enter the words AUX HEATER and see what happens? :unsure: but as yours is still under warranty, just give it back and get the dealer to sort it

AUX HEATERS and MAF sensors :lol: those and their amazing high MPG figures :o and how to sew leather look patches on to cardigan elbows :P maybe they could have their own TDI section dedicated to these topics :o

Here's comments from VR6 owners school reports:-

 

"Most drink from the fountain of knowledge, he only gargled"

"The lights are flashing, the gates are closed but the train ain't coming"

"If he had one brain cell less, we'd have to water him twice per week"

"If you offerred a penny for his thoughts, he'd have to give you change"

 

No OFFENCE INTENDED

BTW it's perfectly normal for grey smoke to sometimes come out the small AUX heater, it really depends on the ambient temperate and the coolant temperate... So as the weather warms up, yuo may never see it again until next year now :)
