Hi there,
My first post and I really hope someone can help me on this problem.
Right, Yesterday which was Sunday, I thought I would take off the Turbo intake pipe and clean it.
So I started by opening up the air filter box taking the air filter out, note that the air filer had sort of deformed out of shape around the middle, it was where the hose is that leads to the MAF. I cleaned all this up cleaned the metal netting just before the MAF.
I proceeded to take out the turbo intake hose and clean it, there was a hose attached to the intake hose it is a line from the engine I think.
So I cleaned everything and put everything back, and closed the bonnet and drove home perfectly fine.
The next morning which is today, got in the car, the car started perfectly fine and I drove to work. Now the problem started when I was in a 40MPH zone all of a sudden the car lost power(not pulling normally) I could see smoke in my mirror, The car was not responding to the gas pedal, the more I pressed the pedal the more black smoke was being produced and the car was not pulling.
I stopped and I was trying to figure out what had happened I knew it was something to do with what I had done the day before which I just regretted. I just thought to take a look at the air filter which I was so stupid to place back the previous day. The air filter had sort of risen in the deformed place and looked like it was going in the hose where the MAF is connected.
So what I did is take out the air filter and closed the air filter box back with no air filter, I started the car and it seemed to be okay however it did not seem it's normal self. So I drove to work and left it there I never though anymore of it.
So now it comes time to move my car I start it up and at this moment the car in on park, I gave the car a few revs to see if it is fine and it does not respond well to the revs, and then all of a sudden the car seems like it choking so the engine is choking and stalls.
Now I have no idea to what this could be, when I rev a lot of smoke is coming from the back of the turbo where it is connected to the cat. A lot of smoke comes from the exhaust pipe and the car seems like it is choking
My suspicious is that maybe some material from the air filter went through the net and hit the turbo blades and damaged the turbo. or maybe the MAF is not working. could this be a MAF problem which I hope it is, or could this be a Turbo problem which to be honest I think it is. other than these to things I cannot see any other things being wrong.
I can upload pictutes of the turbo blades if needed so someone can tell me if they need replacing. the turbo blades have mm movement and the blades spin fine when I spin it with the fingers.
Please someone help, I will not drive the car as I do not want to damage it anymore.
I hope I made sense.
Thank you
