Ok, so this morning I noticed my tdi was smoking from the rear on idle, did't take much notice, it often does this upto startup. Came off the motorway, went to change lanes, BAM, smoke everywhere, engine just revved out of control, pulled over switched off. Phoned the RAC, they towed it to a VW Specialist. They are unsure of the cause but diesel has got into the oil causing overfil. He looked at the dipstick and it was very high and thin almost like water!
They are opening it up this afternoon and will call me with their findings. It could be an injector or worst require a new engine. Even there were unsure, in 20 years they have never seen a PD engine with such problems.
Just annoyed having paid £600 for brakes/servo/master/labour, £100 oil change/coolant change, £100 leaking oil from the rocker gasket. Its only a 2001 and I cant afford to spend any more on it. We are already short of money to go on holiday with.
Seriously hate my TDI
