Hi everybody, I`ve got a 2007 Golf 16V TDI with 28000 miles on clock. It was driving on the motorway at 75mph when it lost power (limp mode or turbo shut down) drove it 1 mile to services where it cut out with a puff of white smoke and a rattle just like a diesel rattle. tried to restart it and it was turning as if it had a flat battery and refused to fire. now it is turning ok but still won`t go, oil level OK, plenty of water and no signs of contamination in the water. Been told it might be injectors but at 28k, 3years old I find it hard to believe (if it is injectors how hard to change and what sort of price to get repaired.) Also no warning lights or indications that anything was wrong before it cut out.
