If your mechanic hasn't done so, I'd run some Lobro Moly "Diesel Purge"
through the fuel system.  Made a perceptable performance (and smoke)
difference in both my '80 Rabbit and my old Mercedes.  I also liked to run a
Redline brand additive in the diesel - they made two varieties, but I don't
remember which I used.  Seemed to cut down on the smoke in the MB.  The
Rabbit never really smoked much.

PS - What is the recommended diesel fuel additive to use?  I saw 3 or 4
different kinds at the local NAPA and was a little bit stumped as to which
one to choose.  All offered better mpg, injection cleaning, less smoking,
wax prevention.   Just get the cheapest one?
