Hi guys, probe with my 1.9tdi galaxy. The garage said its a turbo prob but I have my doughts.

I took of the egr and it was full of gunk so cleaned all that and hoses no different.

Next removed all the parts about the turbo and cleaned as all the YouTube vids show you, the turbo was nine dry and no movement at all so put back together with no change.

When I take the car out it wooshes when you boot it with black smoke, the hotter the car gets the worse it gets, I did find a bolt undone on the manifold and not sure if the gasket if goosed or if it's the intercooler ?

Any help would be much appreciated guys am beat.

 

Cheers Alan

It could be the turbo - there is an oil feed to the bearing of the turbo I think, and if this bearing breaks down it may allow oil to get into both sides of the turbo. You will be burning oil from the intake air and putting oil into the exhaust gases as well, hence the black smoke.

More people on here with more knowledge and experience will be along shortly hopefully.

Oil smoke is usually a blue colour, black is I believe too much diesel or not enough air.  If you can also hear a whoosh you didn't have before I would guess one of your pipes on the turbo is loose/leaking. Most likely between turbo and manifold so turbo to intercooler or intercooler to inlet manifold.  They are in several sections and can be different depending on output power and "MK".  I only have experience of my MKII TDI 130.  I have had the bracket on the outlet of the intercooler loose (garage fitted wrong screws when they replaced the radiator) and didn't fit the short rubber hose from the intercooler to near the Fuel filter correctly myself once.  It looked in place but the clip wasn't holding it so it blew under pressure and then sat back down again with engine off.
