Hi I'm looking for some advice to a problem I have with my a4 2.0 tdi(170) sline avant 2008 (owned for 3 months) 60 k miles. I was advised by Audi when my car was in for a winter health check that there was excessive smoke coming from exhaust( blue)
they diagnosed the problem as a faulty turbo. I then took the car to 2 other garages for second and third opinions. Both the other garages ( independent Audi specialists) checked out the turbo bearings and impeller play etc.and scanned for boost faults confirmed my turbo was fine( they both even checked inter coolers)
i booked the car into one of the Indy garages to investigate further the smoke issue. They had the car overnight to monitor from cold start including monitoring the injector compensations from cold to full temp.
They advised the following from cold start no smoke from exhaust and normal injector readings, as temp reached 50 deg slight rough idle and blue smoke from exhaust. They injector compensate values almost out of acceptable range . If car revved puff of blue smoke. As car reaches 65-70 deg the injector readings dropping and smoke clearing by 80 deg injector compensate readings all back to normal and no smoke from exhaust and idling perfectly.
i seem to have a blip between 50 and 80 deg where car runs rough and blue smoke from exhaust out side of this temp car runs and starts perfectly. Could this be a software glitch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully an Audi guru will be able to through some light on matter.
cheers
