[Vwdiesel] Smoke and engine flushing?

[Matt]

My Rabbit has started smoking more than usual lately.  I was going to 
try having the injectors rebuilt and see what happens.

Also, living at 5000 ft, I'm wondering about what I should time the 
pump at?  It's at .95 currently.  I'm wondering if I should change it a 
bit to see if it clears up the smoking problem.
