MamboJambo78 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I've got a 2002 TDi (130 bhp) and it has 90k on the clock. I bought it last year from a garage after a couple of months it started to give black smoke and I was told there was something wrong with the turbo. Luckily it was still under warranty and they fixed it. I've noticed it recently when the car is stationary and you apply a bit of gas you can hear a slight hissing noise from the engine. Do any of you know if this is a common problem or what it could be? Also I've had the car serviced and when you drive from being stationary it gives quite a bit of black smoke. Can you help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Either a boost leak from the turbo pipes or a vacuum leak, I suspect. Tracing is purely an investigation of the hoses to find a split or hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobby Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Split hose at a guess, if you leave it.... it'll get worse then keep dropping into limp mode Mine did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 So did our old one. It wa about £80 to get it fixed IIRC, including labour, but it does depend which hose is fubar'd on your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
