Hi, any techies out there? got a vw pssat 2004 1.9tdi 130, recently had a new cat fitted and a reconned turbo, and i seem to be getting a lot of black smoke, more so when accelerating and turbo kicks in,its a bit embarrasing, tried running some injector cleaner through, but no different. got 200,000 on clock but engines got plenty of power, it does seem worse after i had the recon turbo fitted

Try looking for any air leaks on the induction side, just a small leak can upset things as the unit will over-fuel to try to compensate.

A reconditioned turbo - why??

What went wrong with the last one??

I ask this because if your last one went 'in style' as I call it, it may have sent (dumped) oil through the rest of the system (pipes etc) and the excess smoke could be just the new turbo sucking the gunk through and burning it off...

You may have oil in the intercooler too, and you may need that cleaning out too....

Thanks jonnyboy, sorry to ask but you say the induction side, is that pipes between the air filter and the turbo, the pipes that are not under pressure

We had a Vauxhall Vivaro van in with a blown turbo, the oil seals had gone and in spite of cleaning out the intercooler and inlet manifold it took ages for the smoke to clear.

Another vehicle we had in was an Alfa Romeo 147 that came in with a complaint that it was whistling, in that case it had a blown turbo that turned out to be a symptom of another fault that turned out to be a split hose, causing the turbo to fail.

Moral of the story? Was the turbo failure a cause or a symptom?
