Hey all,
Hoping for a bit of advice. My FR tdi has developed an issue and wondering what the most likely cause could be.
I have an intermittent loss of power and when it occurs there are plumes of black smoke out of the exhaust. Tends to happen when I put my foot down and the revs just go nowhere or creep very slowly. If I lift off then press the accelerator again it seems to be fine. First noticed a few weeks ago and the frequency of occurences is increasing.
I have check boost pipes and cannot see a problem - the intercooler pipes at the top of the engine to the EGR valve were replaced about 5k ago. I would also have thought an issue with a pipe would be more constant?
I don't have vcds but I do have a code reader and that shows no fault codes. I have had a search on forum for similar problems - I am leaning towards thinking the EGR valve being busted or needing cleaning. Would that seem like the most likely problem to the forum and the best place to start?
