Mobile VCDS / VAG.COM in Galway?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for someone in Galway with vag.com / vcds that may be able to help me out with my Audi 2001 A6 1.9 tdi AJM. It started belching smoke lately and I got the turbo reconditioned as it was howling and the bearings were shot - no oil on exhaust side though. I cleaned the intercooler and refitted the recond turbo and the smoke situation is exactly the same as before. The smoke is "grey" - not white, blue or black and it neither smells of coolant nor burnt oil. As I mentioned, the exhaust side of the turbo itself and the exhaust were dry so it's highly unlikely that it's oil residue in the exhaust that's causing the smoke now, I did the turbo as a matter of course as the play in the bearings on the shaft were serious and on their last legs.
    As the car is at the moment - i'm afraid to drive it in case I damage anything and it's a pain in the ass as I live out in Moycullen. It's not losing coolant or oil and I suspect it's something to do with the fuel system.
    When I did the head gasket last month I left the head into a workshop to have it pressure tested etc and they managed to "break" two injectors whilst removing them and then refitted them stating that "99% of the time similarly damaged units worked perfectly when refitted" - and they did - except for a little vibration between 1500 and 2500 rpm (no vibration before head gasket replacement).
    I'd be quite happy to pay someone for their time and fuel that may be able to take a trip out to me and do a full scan with the vcds / vag.com and help me get to the bottom of the problem as I don't want to waste anymore time or money and just get it sorted.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks and happy Crimbo !

    Thanks to all who answered and contributed.

    New "O" rings on one injector solved the problem - they were put in arseways by the "engineer" that pressure tested the head when it was off.

    Back to sleep - THREAD CLOSED !
