Driving to work this morning and the car was fine till the carriageway where it accellerated fine through to third popped in to fourth and not much power.

 

Managed to limp to work with a rough and louder car the idling was irregular, initially she'd rev with the clutch in but that worsened. After about 10 mins some but not loads of black smoke from the exhaust. By the time i got to work it was hardly revving or accelerating.

 

Any idea's guy? :no:

Have a good look round the engine bay and underneath. Pipe popped off?

yeh boost leak, check the 4 big pipes to start with. pretty common,

TT or NA ?

It's a TT, Haven't seen any pipes off yet, gonna try getting under the car now.

 

Now she's cooled down, she start rev's ok but not to full level, pop's a little when lifting off the throttle and a small amount of black smoke form the exhaust.

 

cheers guys

Check all your vac pipes too, under the throttle bodies back to the balance bar, sounds like one has popped off causing a vac leak.

Sweeeeeet! found a pipe on the intercooler under the engine off, Still a bit rough now i pushed it to work like a **** but hopefully that'll clear up. Just reset the ecu so maybe that'll help.

 

Thanks for the info guys
