Thread: That ledgendary puff of smoke on start up 300tdi.

I tried the part throttle thing while starting up the past two days and it seems to work, even from cold. I haven't seen the pipe close up, but I normally see the puff from the mirror and I didn't see it when I pushed the throttle pedal down about a quarter.

weird....

I just did the same to a city ranger in Bondi. He was looking at the back of the car, for some unknown reason, when I started her up. oops
