No Smoke?

We all know that these things like to blow smoke, but no more smoke? I went into the dealer a couple weeks ago to get my fuel line recall done and to get a reflash for the AWC ECU. While there I complained about the random erratic idle and sudden dying while the car is stopped. They gave it the factory reflash and voila......Car runs a hundred percent better. But,,,, not it does not blow smoke anymore except at almost redline. Has anyone with factory reflash seen their smoke dissapear??

It's carbon from the fuel burn. The amount coming out the tailpipe varies depending on how much fuel you're feeding it and what your a/f ratio is. A tune or flash can make a big difference.

I've got a brand new ECU and got the recall done. Still smokes like a diesel with any boost.

You will probably notice a big difference in the amount of the smoke that comes from the car but it shouldn't be gone.
