Turbo gone ?

Postby Phoenixblue » Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:40 pm

Think I sadly know the answer to this already!

My van is a 260 tdi 2004, its started to lose power on acceleration, especially going up hill, where it also blows out more smoke out of the exhaust! I take it the Turbo has gone ? It still drives, and is fine as long as you don't put the engine under any pressure, however if you do, the speed drops off sharply.
