  • DS3 1.6 THP loss of power issue

    The wife has a 1.6 THP which she loves but today it has generated a problem, when driving the power dips there us a rattly noise and smoke came out of the back, this is only for a matter of seconds then it drives fine again, this happened twice now, anyone got any ideas.

      Fuel Pump or carbonisation of the valves. Get it to a dealer/garage to inspect.

        60k miles, 2011, she swaps from normal petrol to super, not too sure on smoke colour. We just took it out and it drove fine but she's worried something serious might be wrong with it. No engine light on.

          She said dust was like a greyish colour smoke but only for a second.
