Smoke After remap!!!

hhmm, does sound a bit wiered, mine does smoke slightly higher up the revs, towards 4k then a bit afterwards. Black smoke means its overfueling, so they may need to tweak the boost slightly and the mapping.

By the way, mine is running upwards of 25psi most of the time, so alot more than what your will be i should think, when i first had my hybrid on it smoked like a real ****, thick black smoke, and like you say, so thick that you cant see the car behind. Take it back mate, and get them to tweak it.

Oh, and i know that 4500 rpm in 5th gear is well in access of 120 mph, so i hope you did it on a private road

cupra only does 120 in 5th as far as i remember (on a private runway) hope you get it sorted .and remember not to plant it in a high gear at low revs or you will wreack your clutch

mine smokes, but thats half the fun i thought

My Passat seems to vary from one day to the next, sometimes it's really smoky, others it's soot-free.
Currently it's running really cleanly - still haven't figured out what causes the variation

Hi Guys

Some smoke is normal, and yes it can vary, mainly due to climate/temperature changes.

Smee's is smoking too much at the moment by the sounds of things. The fuel needs trimming slightly, as Smee requested a smoke free map lower in the rev range, but so that it just drove sweetly around town, but then wanted some more aggressive power further up the scale.

We acheived this, but the calulation for fuel to air need to be adjusted slightly at the top end of the revs when the engine is under load.

I had to laugh, he reported the smoking to me after racing Porsche if I remember correctly!!

GET some fat rally clips replace all your jubilee clips and use millers power plus...get no smoke on mine now.

i got a p-torque remap, mine smokes like a bitch when pulling away in 1st, then its not too bad, although on somedays it will smoke loads, and others it wont, also depends on what fuel you are using.

Basically, you'll get some smoking when loading the engine. Its perfectly normal after a re-map.

Once the turbo is up to speed, it pulls enough air in to burn the fuel. So this means.....

a) When you boot it the turbo needs a few seconds to spin up

b) At the top end, like Smees, the turbo boost is backed right off to avoid problems, so there is less air being pulled in

You should find your Ibiza's will go very well once I have mapped them though

honestly take off your front bumper and check for loose jubilee clamps some of them will be not tightened fully!

you should be getting enough air to mix with fuel properly without it smoking all the time..imo.

also the millers power plus additive worked wonders on my engine.

5th gear reving to 4500 rpm and the car behind is pretty hard to see... am i smoking too much?

just read again and yes! mine doesn't smoke expect when booting from cruising.

My peak power is at 3850revs so its pointless to go over 4k revs anyway...

But on some days i can see mine smoking when on full throttle and others its fine...

finally got it done then Hope your happy after the tweak.

red is on about all the clips that attach the intercooler (boost) pipes to each section, they tend to be a bit crap and allow boost leaks, better clips hold them firmly.

Most of the pipes on my Ibiza dn now the Passat, use the horseshoe-type clips to lock the pipe joints together.
How do you replace those with jubilee clips

you need to get them off with a big set of mole grips, or theres a special tool i beleive.
