Black smoke and no turbo

johnny t · 11th August 2015, 17:03

Hi has anybody got any advice lost power today every time i put my foot down I get tons of black smoke and no turbo kick. Have checked that the turbo is blowing and it is just don't know how much pressure it kicks out normally? Removed the inlet pipe into the intercooler and can hear the turbo whistling and if I put my hand over the end I can feel the pressure building just unsure how much it kicks out any advice welcome.
Cheers John

Check/replace your PCV filter. it may have clogged up...

Also have a look at the "O" rings in the main air supply (big pipe RH side front) they may have blown out of their housing.. innit...

Sounds like blown intercooler O rings or a split intercooler hose.

Check that your EGR is not stuck open or that a by-pass has perhaps failed. Mine did this with similar symptoms.

Sounds like a split intercooler pipe to me.

In the worst case your turbo might be dead.---

Quick update on this chap's found that the plastic pipe on the top of the intercooler had blown out all back together now but looks like I'll be needing a new intercooler and pipework soon
