    Smoke

    Did you ever get anywhere in finding out about this? I've noticed same coloring in smoke in my 2007 2.0 TDi 170 Quattro. In mine i get a really strong smell of diesel when idling, even if i'm just sitting at the lights. And the smoke is so bad that i had left the car in for wheel alignment...

    Cruise control fitting service around Liverpool?

    Could you not do it yourself?, if you have a MFSW then I think that means your control module already has crusie control function, you just need to fit the cruise control stalk and get vcds coded. I did mine last year when i was fitting a FBMFSW.... cruise control was simple compared to fitting...
