Hi, I’m wondering if anyone can help me get an idea what would cause my A2 to run rich?
Starting has never been a problem but when left idling on the drive for roughly 5 minutes there’s soot on the floor! Also under acceleration at night I can see a trail of smoke behind me lit up my the car behinds lights.
I know the EGR needs replacing if that’s relevant and my MPG used to be 65 and now lucky if I get 55. After having my cambelt changed I asked the guy at the garage what could be the problem and without having a look said it’s likely the fuel injectors (£300 for each). Seems a bit drastic as a starting point. The cars done 152,000 miles and is on a 02 plate.
If anyone could point me in a possible right direction to start looking I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks Damian
