Hello all

Do any of you guy's know what this problem could be?

My father has a Kia Sedona people carrier automatic 2.9 turbo deisel.

He is driving along all is fine and then he accelerates to overtake and there is a loss in power and clouds of white smoke coming out of the exhaust.
Pulls over and stops engine starts ticks over ok sounds as normal and shows no signs of fluid loss either water or oil and no cross contamination between the two.
It has lost power and smokes and thats it.
Green flag came and took it to the local garage for them to give there opinion on Monday.
I have my own opinion that the turbo is dead and is passing oil over the seals.

Any ideas would be great

Thanks

Sounds about right to me mate

Hi Mark
How you doing
Not had chance to see you up at Harewood this year.

Are your times still going in the right direction!

Cheers

also agree, check the turbine on the intake side to see if its collapsed.

i would check the intercooler pipes aswell just incase one is split or has fell off

Assuming it is the turbo
Anybody know the best place to buy a reconditioned one ?

White smoke and no coolant loss, probably running seriously rich and the white smoke
is unburnt diesel.
How's the fuel consumption ?

Hi there
The fuel consumption prior to this happening was 30 -35 mpg which was very good he doesnt drive very fast!!

That will be one verry expensive trip to your garage i think.
Good luck with it.
I Also think it is the turbo.

An injector is a likely the turbo --- easier to check the turbo first.
