So I just recently got a 1996 Passat TDI, It's an awesome ride, and it has the perks of having a few extra mods to make it go a little faster. It has:
Rocket chip
.205 injector tips
straight pipe side exit exhaust
The Car has 185xxx ... the engine was replaced with a 50xxx mile motor at 110xxx miles, so the motor has about 125xxx.
When driving conservatively, I only get about 35 MPG with this car, which seems much too low. It had always smoked a lot since I've had it, so I thought it was normal to smoke that much, but my buddy said it was a lot. Also, when warming up, the spot that the smoke hits the ground turns damp, leaving a little puddle of diesel fuel, which makes me think that it is being over-fueled. The color of the smoke is whiteish and the smell of diesel absorbs into my clothes rapidly and stays.
What do you all think? And if it is being over-fueled, how can it be tuned so that it has the correct ratios going in?
Thanks,
Ben
