Found the source of smoking....where can I get an EGR blocking kit.
So I was running RED LINE cleaner directly into the pump.... I was using the throttle cable to change the speeds and I opened the throttle all the way and I had to RUN because the engine compartment was filled with BLACK SMOKE. I have never seen that in my life; pretty scary if you ask me.
It was all coming from the EGR valve tube that comes back into the AIR BOX. In other words, the car would smoke since all that crud and crap was coming back in to the engine. I want to block off the EGR valve ASAP. Does anybody have any kits for sale or know where I would be able to obtain one ? Thanks

i think
i think the egr valve runs off vacuum...
and once the vac gets going it sucks the vavle open or closed or something.... so just plug the vac line going to it...

 Oh yes, RED LINE is the stuff to use. At this moment my brother is running down the block getting his 190D since my car does not sound like a diesel. Literally, it got rid of the "click clock" sound. Let's just hope it stays like that.

I wish I knew about unplugging the vacuum to the EGR valve a long time ago. The car feels like it has a turbo added and the smoke is GONE. All these days I have been trying to solve the issue and it was just a simple EGR VALVE. I noticed that as soon as I plugged the vacuum line on the EGR it would automatically open the flap into the air filter. No wonder the car felt underpowered....it was running on its own emissions all the time

look in your golf bag. i have heard that the tee fits into the hole left behind by the vac line. this is urban legend of course because defeating the egr is against the law and no of us would do anything to flaunt the laws of the usa.
