Just curious what you guys/gals think it is.
I made a wrong turn on a street that ended up being an uphill (don't know what the grade is, but it's long). Anyway, shifted at 2600rpm on 2nd to 3rd, and as I was nearing 2600 again on 3rd gear, I notice a whole whack of smoke on my rear view mirror. Colour was greyish. Not too white (coolant), not to black (fuel) either. My foot, btw, wasn't at WOT.
Fear for damaging anything, I decided not to do it again, and did the same shifting on a slight uphill a few minutes later with no problems.
I do have a bad transmission at the present time. And the turbo or the head is leaking (cannot pinpoint the problem). I did recently replaced my coolant, water pump, & thermo last week. My alt. belt needs a slight readjustment. The car is a '91 Jetta 1.6L TD.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Oz
