Re: VW Golf 5 Tdi is emitting too much smoke
I recently sent my Golf to a mechanic after it mixed oil and water. I paid for a cocktail of other problems including gasket, top, skimming, filters and staff. But my car imiditely started smoking. The mechanic said it will go away but it got worse. The smoke is realy disturbing what should I do?

Try another mechanic
When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on
