Strong Exhaust Smell and Smoke Issue in Skoda Octavia
Summary of the thread
A 2012 Skoda Octavia owner is experiencing a strong exhaust smell and intermittent light grey/white smoke. The problem might be linked to a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), but there is uncertainty about whether the car is equipped with one. If a DPF is present, it could be clogged; if not, the issue might involve the EGR valve or the fuel system. Checking the vehicle's manual or contacting a dealership with the VIN can clarify the presence of a DPF, and addressing the issue promptly is advised to maintain vehicle performance and safety.

Start by checking if your Skoda Octavia is equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). You can find this information in your vehicle's manual or by contacting a Skoda dealership with your VIN. If your car does have a DPF, it might be clogged, causing the smoke and smell. If not, the issue could be related to other components like the EGR valve or a fuel system problem. It's important to address this promptly, as exhaust issues can affect vehicle performance and safety. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
