I know this is a T4 forum but i thought id see if anyone has any idea whats up with my golf (privalidged to own a T4 and a golf )
Whilst driving today i experienced a sudden lack of power and thick smoke out the exhaust
On close inspection i couldnt see anything wrong so set off again and still smoke, lack of power and a hissing / swooshing (abit like a rubbish dump valve)
Again on close inspection the large pipe top left of the engine bay wasnt into its socket properly, alot of oil was present and i pushed it back in, but the clip system doesnt seam to hold it in properly
Im not sure if this is the problem or just a coincidence
Could this be the problem?
Does anyine know what said pipe is and would this non tight fit cause the problem, it sounds logical as air would escape but why the black smoke from exhaust
Any ideas or information would be fantastic
