Dear PWers. I need some urgent guidance before hitting workshops.
On way back form my village my GLI 2010 1.3 manual in petrol faced jerks and missing. Fuel average was also showing 9 something which is usually 16. My friend noticed smoke from my car on uphill where I probably pushed acceleration hard.
Upon reaching home I opened hood and when I touched and forced this one sensor the engine sound become normal.
I tested car and except very tiny missing in acceleration problem seemed to have gone. This morning the exhaust was throwing lot of black powder on floor with water drops.
Could this black powder be due to excessive fuel from last night. Is this sensor in picture oxygen sensor. Should I ask for just checking this sensor. What else should I do to address the issue.
I would appreciate any comments and guidance. Many thanks.
