Has My Turbo Gone

[redstar]

Please help,I came off the motorway tonight and my 99 TDI has lost it's power, when the car is stationary I can see alot of white smoke. The smoke smells like oil burning. I know it's not the MAF because that's been changed once before.

Thanks in advance. ;)

possibly the timing slipped a little ????

If the timing has slipped,why can i smell oil burning?

Check that you have no white looking gue in either your oil or your water, this way you can eleminate, or prove your

head gaskets gone.

 

The other main option is indeed you turbo seals have gone.

 

But there are other reasons why you could have this problem, although the two above are the most likely.. sorry......

I think your turbo has gone especially if it isnt overheating and less/no smoke at higher engine revs, what you need to hope for is that none of the fins have come off and gone into the engine... head off job to check the damage.
