Hi, just wondering if someone out there can help me. I have a Golf TDi CL 1.9 (90BHP - 1995 / 87K Miles). The car is serviced every year by a VW dealer but this morning it decided to completely give up on me. I was driving in third just changing into fourth (up hill) and the car lost all power with a huge cloud of black smoke coming form the exhaust, it juddered along for a little while and just cut out. I tried to re-start the car but it just revved up to about 4K RPM on it's own then came back down to 1K and up again to 4K then cut off again. Again a big cloud of black smoke from the back.
On the floor beneath the exhaust opening there was a black deposit of 'soot'.
First bit of advice I've had is that the turbo's gone, but I an air flow meter was fitted 1.5 years ago. At the time that this went the car lost power but it would still run at about 35mph.
Anyway, I'm looking at a bill of about £600 to replace the turbo so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Wayne
