[Vwdiesel] smoke related to driving style

[Val Christian]

The exact same symptoms occur on my car.  The mileage reported is about
the same as well.  I have a 91 NA.

No turbine wheels.  We need a new theory.

Strawman theory.  Light foot allows carbon and longer chain molecules 
build on the pintle and other portions of the injector, and are knocked
free with high fuel flows.

Observations: Driving hard, keeps smoke clean all the time.  Rara to the 
lead foot.  Also, keytone and tolulene additives "injector cleaners"
and "fuel conditioners" seem to reduce the intermittent lead foot 
smoke production.  "Stomp smoke."
