Hi

I have noticed a loss of power over the last few days when going over 2000revs and the car struggles to get to 70mph. Took it a garage last night and they suggested changing the hoses/vacuum pumps as a few look rather tatty and its prob to do with air.

Going to work today driving along nicely and all of a sudden there was complete loss of power, put accelerator down and nothing happened. The car was literally moving on its clutch bite, running really rough like chugging. Seemed to be some smoke behind me, whitish grey. Managed to pull onto a car park, switched the engine off and now it won't start. Its trying to start and there's also a bit of hissing/whistling coming from the engine as it tries to start. Waiting till the other half gets home so he can tow me back home.

Anyone any ideas??? Im panicking that its major like the turbo :eek:

Sounds like ahose may have popped off the turbo to be honest.

If you're worried the turbo has gone pop then it's worth not trying to start the engine any more just incase some bits have made their way through to the engine.

Iv got a mechanic coming look at it tonight once we have towed it back. Hoping its going be some sort of hose and nothing major. There was no pop or bang which Iv read usually happens when the turbo goes so fingers crossed!!
