    Please help me, 2004 audi a3 2.0tdi bkd, white/grey smoke on idel and smells a bit rich or burny

    Thanks for you replys. While I'm on here, I'm in the middle of changing my dual mass to a single mass, does any one no if this drive shaft just pulls out, as there is no bolts to undo at the gear box end, as I'm sure when I did my 1.9 a3 it was connected by a cup on each end.

    Please help me, 2004 audi a3 2.0tdi bkd, white/grey smoke on idel and smells a bit rich or burny

    As far as I can tell my coolant level is fine, that's what's so confusing. Was wondering if it may be injector seals or something, I have no milky stuff in my oil either. And it pulls reasonably well in the gears to.
