Hi
this might be a bit random but i noticed a little smoke from my exhaust while i was stationary at a junction after a goodfast run on the back roads. When i pulled up on my drive i got out to see if it was still smoking when ticking over. It sounded similar to a petrol exhaust burbling (it has the seatsport centre exit exhaust, full stainless system) but then as i was listening the exhaust noise just stopped as if someone had switched the exhaust off?! Is there some kind of valve on the exhaust that could have caused this? The car is a 57 reg 2.0tdi 170. Also is little smoke normal? I'm considering changing the plugs as its thrown a coil light a couple of times at random (the brake lights seem fine but i haven't been able to check them while the glow plug light is flashing) also i often have to give it a little on the throttle to catch it on start -up.
Any guidance is much appreciated - this is my first diesel.
Thanks
Stephen
