I was driving my HDi to work this morning, got 3 miles down the road and started to accelerate to pass something. Had a big bang, looked behind me to see a mass of white smoke that covered the carriageway, and engine had cut out. I coasted to a parking spot and tried to start the engine. It turned over for about 5 seconds but failed to start, so I left it and called the AA.
Had it towed home and when it was here it started again, first turn of the key. It revs fine and sounds fine but it has a smallish amount of white smoke out the exhaust. Engine management light is on.
I haven't driven it so not sure if it's down on power. Does anyone have any thoughts what it might be? I guessed something turbo related but i'm not a derv expert.
Thanks in advance
