Black smoke is absolutely running rich as stated above. I had it happen to a talon tsi I owned, ran rich at launch and blew black clouds (bad tuning).
I agree 100% that you're burning oil instead of leaking it and as stated a compression test on the cylinders would help and a wet or leak down comp test would help even more (as stated). This post has been edited by 6G96GT: Apr 16, 2009 - 8:40 PM |
