Title: Sick mk5 Golf gt tdi 170
Post by: nellyhaggis on 08 April 2016, 20:37

Hi,
My golf has 128k on the clock
I had it remapped, egr delete and dpf removal in november and running about 200hp.
Its been returning 65mpg on a run and plenty of power.
Last night on my way home from work it started chucking out loads of smoke and wont rev above 2k.
If i stop the car and put my foot down it revs up to the red line.
I opened the bonnet and it sounds really rough down the air intake.
Any pointers or suggestions would be great.
I get the feeling that the turbo has let go but wanted to see if anyone had some ideas before I start on it.
Kev.

Get a vid up or some pictures of the smoke.
What colour is the smoke?
