Yesterday my 2003 Scudo van started blowing clouds of dark grey smoke out the exhaust. There is a loss of power and acceleration is very sluggish. The higher the revs or the more 'strain' the engine is put under the more smoke is produced. There is also a metallic rattle from the engine under revs. (Valves perhaps?) All the turbo hoses are intact and unsplit. Any suggestions as to what this might be? Blown oil seals? Knackered turbo? Is it time to bid farewell to my trusty van?:confused::cry:
