afternoon all
Around 2 weeks back my bravo (1.9 diesel, 2007) developed a problem with its acceleration. my foot was down but the car wasnt responding as it should until it hit around 2/3thousand revs(different gears). over the past couple of weeks its got gradually worse and i was due to take my car to the garage tomorrow. Today however after giving it a start on the drive it starts but appears to be chugging and smoke is coming from the exhaust! having looked it up initially it seemed to point to the egr valve but now with smoke coming from the exhaust im worried it might be something much worse.
my cars on 49,000 miles now, any ideas what this might be, im not great with cars and don't want to take it to the garage blind if you know what i mean.
Thanks
