Citoen HDI "bang",smoke, poor running - Boozeyp
Any clues anyone?
Heading for Portsmouth last night, Citroen 1998 HDI 2 years old 29000, A3 exit on M25, loud bang from engine compartment (felt through bulkhead by passenger). Engine still runs, but very smoky and intermittent loss of power with occasional noise that sounds like a miss functioning servo.

Might be the turbo. Probably better not to drive it until you have it looked at.

A 1998 that's 2 years old?

Wasn't about 1.00 was it?

No wonder you felt it through the bulkhead: I felt it up here in Nottingham!

Didn't feel a thing in S Glos, Bogush - maybe a couple of pints of Bass had something to do with it.
