Hi i hope some one can add some thought on this before i seek a garage, the cars a 57 bravo Mjet sport done 138k.
problem is coming home yesterday i went to overtake & nothing there, previous to this every thing was normal, no strange noises or anything, plenty of power.
had to crawl home at high revs in low gears to get it to pull accelerating is taking for ever & no boost after the magic mark so i don't think its EGR related,
i also noticed that when i floored the accelerator i got quite a bit of black smoke may be suggesting its putting the fuel in but its not getting burned, engine sounds spot on not missing a beat idles beautifully. i am seeing a bit of oil around one of the turbo hoses the one on the right looking under the bonnet but it looks old & full of grime not fresh. im using a small amount of water too which im monitoring but nothing showing up in the oil or puddles under car. that's only about half inch a month. by the way i have no engine light on either.
any help appreciated.
