Hey guys, I dont trust too many sites out there so thought maybe you folks could help me. I am looking at a mk4 GTI to pick up as a beater. I found an 05 in blue with the 1.8t and 5 speed which is what I want. Problem is it has a slight black smoke coming from the tail pipe at idle, and shoots a puff of black smoke on acceleration (or reving motor). I know that is symptoms for a rich fuel mixture. The care has aftermarket downpipe, turbo back, and revo stage 2 tune.
Any general mk4 knowledge of things that generally go wrong with them that might cause this? I dont want to get myself into a money pit, but if this is a simple common problem (are the injectors crap on this model, or does the maf die alot?) and I can get it for a mint it might be worth it.
Thanks,
Dominik
