Ok I posted a thread a while back about the fact the car was flat and chugging black smoke out when driving.
I had the car serviced and all seemed well (filters I would of said).
Now this is an on going issue as such that the car especailly when cold doesnt want to pick up the revs and seems to have a lot of throttle travel without actually raising the revs ( i am aware its a fly by wire throttle), what does happen during this part of the throttle travel though is a plume of smoke bellows out the back until it would seem the turbo spins up and lifts the revs.
Once up and over say 2000rpm the car seems nice and happy to rev. If over that rev you floor the throttle to over take or something then again lots of smoke puffs out the back ( a thick dump of black smoke).... is this sounding like a turbo issue to any one yet?
Now fuel use seems ok.. im getting about 43-44mpg with normal driving.. is this normal.. im sure I used to see 50 out of the old car.
The car starts well does seem to take a while to warm up but havent really been concerned about that, its just this lazy pick up and smoking that is starting to worry me when I thought the service and filter change would of cured the issue.
HELP...
Ive put a little bit of praise on another thread about how much I like this car but dont like driving arounf looking in my mirror wondering why all the cars behind need there lights on in the middle of the day when following me.
