Afternoon folks, this is my first time posting and I’m looking for assistance. I’ve had a search to see what this problem might be but nothing is specifically matching my symptoms.
2.0 a20dth 2009 84000 miles
I recently changed the turbo actuator valve as mine was buzzing. This new one also buzzes so I’m probably gonna put the original one back on as I believe the new one (Chinese knock off) is causing delayed throttle response.
Anyway I’m not convinced this is connected with my problem.
Yesterday I took off the egr valve and associated pipe to clean it. This all went ok and thought I was done. Afterwards the car refused to start and after diagnosing a new battery it’s now fine.
However after about 5 or 10 mins driving the car juddered, lost power and kicked white smoke out the back. After realising I forgot to top up the coolant after egr removal I topped up, but it’s having the same issue and is barely if at all driveable.
It’s horsing it down with rain just now so I’ve not been back out to take the egr off to check. Is it possible I’ve messed up the gasket and there’s coolant in the intake system or is there something else I should be looking for?
Thanks in advance.
