Hi there all, im desperate for some help please.
I noticed last night that suddendly there was a strange noise started coming from my vehicle 1.9 tdi whenever i accellerated. sounded almost like an automatic gearbox revving if you know what i mean.
Anyway as it was still drivable and as i had to be somewhere, I drove it about 6 miles and parked it it for a couple of hours.
then afterwards drove it back home with the same noise going on.
however i did notice on the way back that when i put my foot down on a slip lane to join a dual carriageway there was a shed load of smoke coming from the back end, so much so that I couldn't see behind me at all. but when i let off the gas a bit it went.
Also at one point shortly after that I held the pedal steady and could hear changes in the sound for 30 secs or so. almost like it was and intermittant fault occuring. then i thought could it be the ECU?
feels like i've lost power too as doesn't feel normal.
Ive just been outside and started it up again for a couple of minutes, looks okay under the bonnet, but have just noticed that what looks like oil is dripping quickly from the exhaust pipe where the Cat is
could anyone diagnose this problem for me please.
would much appreciate your help here guys please.
