really hot exhaust. normal?
hi,
2006 4.2 TDi. stepped out of the car and i smelt a whiff of burning. thought it was a sticking calliper. all seemed fine. however i heard the clicking of the exhaust and the tips very very hot. this has not happened before. could this be the DPF burning the soot? any guidance please? thanks raj

Yep. That's a DPF burn off or regeneration. Normally does it when you've been going over 2000 rpm for more than a few minutes. Nothing to worry about. If it hasn't finished then it will just do it again until it finishes I think. You can force it to finish by selecting a low gear like 3rd on a good clear road such as a motorway and keep it at 3000 rpm for a while. Something like that anyway...

i have come to the D3 forum from the D2.
having had lots of nice cars the D2 4.2 was the best daily car i had owned. the engine was a beauty. i said i would not drive a diesel again. after driving the 4.2 Tdi torque/acceleration is stunning. the power delivery at 1500prm upwards is incomparable. aged 45, i am no street racer but i will defiantly will be getting her remapped to see where she ends up. very different power delivery to a petrol. money no object = S8
