I was driving over the weekend and heard my engine instantly get louder after downshifting.
Here are the symptoms:
- low power
- black smoke on acceleration
- engine sounds more like a tractor (knocking)
- oily turbo (especially around seals)
- cannot hear whistle of turbo at light revs, only at higher speeds when releasing throttle (sounds very faint)
- possible oil consumption (time of problem: oil level was dead center of dipstick between notches; 100 miles later: oil level was 1/4 above the bottom notch on dipstick)
I was able to drive home (nearly 100 miles) without issue.
I plan to remove the turbo this week for inspection and possibly buy a new one on ebay... Any advice would be much appreciated.
Are there any other components which might have malfunctioned and caused this problem?
Also, during the removal process, is it likely that I will have to replace the intake/exhaust manifold gasket?
Thanks for any help!
