Thread: Smelly D4 when starting in garage

Not sure. Someone on here might know. Was surprised as car was HSE Black late 2013. But, drains were still original design. Thinking of getting extended warranty later this year in case of any turbo failure later down track.

Perhaps this issue is not what the OP is experiencing, given that he is getting a bad smell rather than lots of oil smoke.

Anyway, at this thread (link below) Graeme thought that perhaps the updated turbo drain pipe was factory fitted from late 2012 onwards.

Meccles, is your RRS early 2013?

Definitely a lot less smoke than the 2.7 under acceleration, will raise the turbo drain issue others have when getting the 6 month health check which is soon. See how the free corporate service plan goes!

I have a Nov 2011 build 2012 model and at the end of warranty check by the dealer had the turbo drain pipe fitted. Does not now blow smoke.

Will have to check build date when next back in Oz. The car has been with us since Sept 13, it had 3000km on it, was pretty sure build date was in 2013. But will have to confirm.
