hi,
my friend has the above, it started billowing smoke from the exhaust like you wouldn't believe.
We managed to get it to a garage, who said it was the turbo that was knackered and the dpf would also need to be changed, the quote was enormous.
So we took it to a neighbouring garage who said much the same, he said we could leave it at the garage until we make arrangements to pick it up.
Anyway, my friend went back today to get some bits from the car, the garage owner seemed most interested in how much the scrapman would give him, and that he could give him the same and get his apprentice on it to fix it.
I am trying to look out for my mate, I think the vehicle isn't as knackered as people are saying, I wondered if anyone thinks its just a blocked dpf.
Why would it be 3500 pounds to fix it, the engine runs ok, the smoke comes after a minute or two.
He told me that prior to the big pile of smoke, the car had smelt 'fumy' for a few weeks,
any suggestions,
palladium.
