No Power + Smoke On Acceleration 115 Tdi Tiptronic

[zeplin43]

Hi guys just got towed home was going well downhill,reached about 180km, when i started going uphill power was totally gone.carried on for about 7 kms got out of the moterway Swithed of car put it working again did this a few times still the same Now the car has no power(does not go over 60km)and plenty of smoke on acceleration.No warning lights and auto gearbox seems to work properly,due to loss of power it goes down to 2 or 3 on any sort of hill.

What do you think went wrong car is now on 150 000 kms.

Hi guys just got towed home was going well downhill,reached about 180km,

 

Is this 180 km per hour ?

[cyborg]

do a compression test just to check for head gasket otherwise its turbo based.

 

white smokes sounds like the turbo's exhaust side seal has gone with oil making a lots of vaporised oil white smoke .

Well guys the Turbo is gone,the propeller inside broke, With gaskets gone oil started leaking into turbo causing lack of power and lots of white smoke.A reconditioned(350 Edited August 5, 2009 by zeplin43

What made you laugh BIg Kev?

Is 180km to much speed for a Tdi motor or what?

ouch on the price zeps hopefully no more probs.

And what would the rpm be at that speed ?

[gregers]

probably not as much as you think as he was going down hill.

Does your engine turn slower going downhill then ?

[zeplin43]

Well i made the option of putting a brand new Garett turbo + the pipe that lubricates the turbo(broke when desmantling the turbo) + new gaskets ,totals up to 550

[zeplin43]

Not beeing enough new turbo the n75 valve also went on its way new one fitted + another 75€.

Fuel consumption is higher than before,7.5 liter/100klms now 8.4per 100klms. Is this normal or must there be some kind of Ecu adjustment after fitting new turbo and n75 valve?

There may be some damage to your engine.
