Hi there. First time on here, so apologies if this has come up before.
I have a FL 2.0 TDi SE on 54 plate and a couple of times in the past week I have noticed excessive smoke coming from a pipe (about 1 inch in diameter) which points vertically down just in front of the front wheel arch on the n/s. I'm led to believe that this is some sort of vent for a diesel pre-heater?
It doesn't seem to smoke excessively all the time - some times it's fine -and there doesn't seem to be any patterns to when it does and doesn't do it, although journies this week have been short and it's been colder. We have a warranty which expires at the end of December and I'm wondering if the smoking sounds abnormal enough for it to be worth taking it down to get it looked at.
Any help much appreciated.
