Sitting on the side of the road waiting for the wife to pick me up. Hard to say what happened until I get it home and dig in but initial best guess is that the turbo seals went and the engine started ingesting engine oil. Sudden power loss, then a huge clowd of smoke (James Bond kind) and then the engine had no power to go pass 60km/h. Didn't notice the smoke because it's pitch black on the back roads until I stopped. Engine sounds like it's preigniting/diesels/detonates if I touch the throttle. Idle hunts up and down then settles but the smoke is huge even at idle. I shut it down as quicly. There is smoke coming out of the oil filler cap. So I'm thinking, for now, that the turbo needs replacing. If anyone on this forum has a good used one for sale, I might need it. Will.know for sure in the next few days.
