I have on '02 Jetta TDI. I was driving home and accelerating to get onto the hwy when I heard a "pop" like a muffled backfire. I wasn't even sure it was me but then when I had to go up a hill I noticed that I was loosing power. I never lose power on this hill, in fact I'm always the one passing everyone. For the next 8 miles everything was good, no problems, no strange sounds, until I had a 2nd hill and again lost power going up.
This is not my primary vehicle so I parked it for awhile. I started it up last weekend and it started great, idles great, but if I give it any RPM's it starts blowing white/blue smoke.
I'm thinking I have fuel injector problems but really am clueless.
Any thoughts? I've been thinking about selling it. If I do, should I sell as is or repair first.
I'm also having difficulty finding a diesel repair shop that works on cars.
