Craigledbury Posted August 17, 2013 Report Posted August 17, 2013 Hi we have a galaxy tdi on a 02. We have been told is running on 3 cylinders by the garage as it has no power really. Today coming down motaway and all power gone . Big smoke coming out of exhaust and going about 10 miles per hour. Oil light starts flashing and loads of smoke. Think it might be engine blown . Can anyone please advise me what they think it could be . Thank u very much Quote
a18nkd Posted August 18, 2013 Report Posted August 18, 2013 a bit more info might help colour of smoke, oil level is it ok, water level is it ok could be a turbo problem/injector problem even head gasket but will need more info Quote
Craigledbury Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Posted August 18, 2013 The smoke was thick white /grey colour really thick coming from exhaust . The garage told me 2 days ago it was running on 3 cylinders but they didn't know why until they had car back into garage. Oil has gone but there was plenty in it before this happened. Thanks . It just won't climb any hill at all and goes 10 mph on straight . Quote
Craigledbury Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Posted August 18, 2013 How much would that cost do u know ? And could that of been wrong with it when the garage said it was running on 3 cylinders ? Quote
