200 Jetta TDI AHL manual. 200k miles.
I was driving to work, at about 60mph I was accelerating, all of the sudden the engine rpm skyrocketed. Dumping black smoke. Obviously startled me so I immediately shut it off and thankfully it didn’t keep running.
So after a few mins I tried to re-start it. Turned over just fine but wouldn’t fire on any cylinder. No unusal noise.
There is some oil leaking by the turbo, I checked the oil level and it’s still good.
I don’t think the engine was damaged even though the needle was buried for a couple seconds.
IP pump failure? I can’t foresee it being a turbo seal because you would think it would fire again.
Idk gents I’m at a loss.
