Hi Guys,

I have just bought a Vw Golf 1.9 TDI.

It's been remapped and basically completely revamped to look like an R32. It looks damn smart!

There's one bad thing about this car, the soot that comes out of the exhaust whenever I give it some pedal...

The person I bought it off has all the receipts for everything ever done to the car, but he didn't mention anything about the EGR valve being blanked/removed, is there any way I can check? Is there also a way in which I can resolve all that vile soot coming out of the exhaust? I know diesels naturally do this when remapped anyway but mines just stupid...

Thanks.

Take it to someone who does remaps and ask them to turn the smoke down.

You will lose some power but won't be chucking out soot every time you put your foot down.
