'limp' mode advice
Morning all....driving home last night - loss of special programs message on dash. Appeared to go into 'limp' mode. I stopped and started car again - drives fine however now producing a cloud of black smoke on acceleration........
Thoughts appreciated.
Cheers

Try the easy thing first and check the turbo hoses, top one from intercooler is a favourite to split
