I hope someone can shed some light to my problem that happened today.
I have a 2004 1.9TDI FR (150BHP) that's remapped to 200BHP. It's been running perfectly for years.
Today whilst driving it started spluttering. It seemed to be a air problem to the turbo. It gradually became worse. I've had a similar problem before as the air pipe connector at the top broke. But this isn't the case this time.
When I stop and rev it, it seems fine. But as soon as I put it under load (drive it) it splutters and tons of smoke comes out the exhaust - I mean a lot. As if it's burning pure diesel.
I can drive it, but very slowly (under 2000 rpm) or it starts spluttering. I don't think the turbo has packed up as it sounds as it's still spinning. It's acting as if there's an air problem.
But I'm no expert, any ideas? Thanks, Mark.
