Spectacular breakdown - trashed Turbo?
jnoshea:
--- Quote from: "RedlineMike" ---from what youve said it could be the head gasket causing the water etc to blow out & the white smoke,
& it running on would be the turbo BUT i thought it shouda been blue if its the turbo due to it burning the oil
mine blew the HG last week when i was at college,it was blowing water out & billowing white smoke at tick over & light revs,got to my work at 4 & had the head on the bench by 5,didnt get finished till 8.30 though as it took ages to set the tappets
--- End quote ---
Most of the smoke was definately white. We started it breifly to get it off the road outside my house once off the truck, and again the smoke was mostly white but nearly black at low revs. A lot of the oil had gone from the engine so I put a few litres in before starting it.

its not a big job to take the head of a TDi
IMHO its a fairly straight forward job to do,just take your time & remember where everything goes

The Haynes manual comes in useful too.
My tip is don't try and use a torque wrench that doesn't go down to a low enough setting that the manual says to tighten an injector stud to :roll: :lol:

Thanks Chris. Good link!

I forgot to mention that there is a LOT of oil in the top intercooler hose, so much so that some oil had leaked out the blanked flange in the top hose where the EGR pipe used to be connected. Does this point more to the turbo or the head gasket as the route cause?
