Default To grease or not to grease?

Took a 05 jetta tdi home for an extended test drive tonight. The wvo options are just to tempting to deny anymore. Are they all they're cracked up to be, I haven't found much besides the info on the boards they own? Damn thing smokes a little though, just the normal black diesel smoke puff, right?

Yep, as far as I can really tell, it's just part of that technology. It's not supposed to SMOKE like hell, but it gets a tiny puff every once in a while under heavy throttle.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.
