Hi All,
I am pulling my hair out with my 2006 2.0tdi (79,000 miles).
Last week on starting the car juddered/misfired for about 3 seconds on start up (unusually). Then it became apparent something was wrong as lots of white smoke from the exhausts and smell of burning. I drove it for about 4 miles to a garage and on arrival they were immediately sure that the turbo had failed (based on wisps of smoke coming from the exhaust when the car was parked up and not running).
After a few more days I had may car back with a new turbo and some £1400 lighter. Today (3 days and less than 100 miles later) the car started churning out white smoke again and I have had to leave it parked up for the garage to look at again tomorrow.
Now, a 3rd party who has some knowledge of diesels and Audi in particular has told me that the problem is more likely the EGR valve and this would have cost me significantly less.
Any ideas people? And also if this is the case where I stand with the garage as I don't really have another £300-£400 to part with for the EGR valve?
Cheers
