Hi hope someone can help.... I have an a3 tdi170 2007 car with the following issue( sorry for the long post)
Drove to local shops about 10 min drive and while parking noticed smoke coming from the engine bay, opened the bonnet and saw smoke from the dpf area and looked liked something has got extremely hot as some of the conduit was semi melted arund that area, so i let it cool down and drove back home and opened the bonnet but no more smoke. Further investigation carried out and found clamp which connects the dpf to the turbo was leaking oil. New clamp with seal has been fitted but prior to fitting i have checked the turbo and there does not seem to be sign of oil and looks dry and no play on the shaft, so i dont know where the oil is coming from.
Started the car and let it warm up, no oil leak but white smoke and acrid smell from exhaust and dpf area still getting stinking hot? No dpf warinigs in the 2 yr ownership but has had the acrid smell while on idle.
Any ideas????
