Hey guys. So a few weeks ago coming on the motorway everything was ok. Then I stopped at a red light and car started sounding like a tractor in the engine area.
Havent used it since then. Today I went to start it to try and find out what it is and after the car warmed up black smoke would come out of the exhaust, idle is a bit rough as well. Any thoughts?
Leon cupra r mk1 with custom made exhaust is the car. Thanks buddys

Over-fuelling could be down to the MAF and/or exhaust oxygen sensors. Have you checked to see if any diagnostic codes are stored?

Have you checked to see if all your boost hoses are still firmly attached?

What kind of tractor did it sound like?
