Hi, I am looking for some guidance on a situation I am having with my A3 2.0 TDI with the BKD engine. The Turbo on my car went, which resulted in a broken turbo shaft and a loss of oil, and a lot of white smoke from the exhaust. I have since changed the Turbo but after taking the car for a spin I still had loads of white smoke! I did some research and found out that this could be from residual oil in the exhaust and intercooler. I ran some tests, first by taking the downpipe off the turbo and running the engine, still loads of smoke, I then removed the Turbo pipe leading into the intake manifold and ran the engine, very very little smoke! It was running alright and responder very well to revving. I have since removed my intercooler and washed it out with petrol, about 3/4 of a mug full came out of it. I am about to reassemble everything but just wanted to see if anyone had a similar problem. Thanks in advance.
In summary:
New turbo loads of smoke with exhaust connected and disconnected, no smoke with turbo pipe removed from intake.
