Hello!My name is Vitaliy. I am from Sacramento, CA.
I just bought my first TDI (http://forums.tdiclub.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=873683&an=0&page=4#873683) from a TDIclub member in Oregon, and he filled up with B100 for me.I liked the car and did not notice anything strange at the time of purchase. On my way back to California( after driving about 620+mi), I put about 2 or 3 gal. of diesel #2 on almoust empty tank( I did not have any Diesel Kleen or anything with me), and I've noticed a realy strong emission smell( No smog, no power loss), just strange smell simular to burning propaine(guy told me that car had 3 full tanks of biodiesel before).At first I thought it's a bad quality fuel, but after I got home I put 14.2gal of good fuel with about 8oz of Diesel Kleen( silver bottle), but smell still there, and it comes from under the hood( from tailpipe I can bearly smell it).Previous owner told me that he did clean intake system(from snow screen, EGR, intercooler etc.)also he did adjust timing in advance.
So any help would be greatefully appreciated.
P.S. I tried to contact the seller but he did not respond to my e-mail.
