berridge10 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 this morning my hubby was driving down the m1 when all of a sudden there was a rather loud popping noise come from the car. after the noise occured the car started to chuck loads of thick black smoke from the exhaust. any ideas on what the problem could possibly be? the car is a 53plate vw touran 2l tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkswagen Owners Club Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 It could be many things but certainly sounds quite drastic so I would take it to a garage immediately before the situation worsens Let us know what was found to be the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berridge10 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 We've took the front bumper off and found a pipe below the engine has come off and needs a new jubilee clip. Would this just be the cause of it or could the turbo have possibly gone as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkswagen Owners Club Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Sounds like it is the intercooler hose popped off, better than splitting I suppose and should only need a new clip. I would also check the boost pressure is not too high due to a seized wastegate valve or defective solenoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
