| Quick reply: I got it sorted out. It was a carbon build up due to most of my driving being short 3-5 mile journeys. |

Re. your new turbo - that was about £1,000? I'd take that right now, if I could trust someone to do it.

OK, I'll be completely honest.
I don't trust the mechanics here in Mallorca. Many lie and many are incompetent. Many are both.
I've had both manifolds changed, yet the issue re. the "Restri ... |

What does rebuild time mean?
Is that time consuming or expensive?
I'm not able to do anything myself so any repairs will be done by my local mechanics in Spain, which is never a good thing.

Thanks for the reply.
Turbo seals or could it actually be the Turbo?
I never "boot" the car at all - if I rev too high I get the "Restricted Performance" warning etc. If I k ... |

Hi all,
RRS 2011 TDV6
I've noticed that the smoke from my car doesn't smell right recently (no idea why) and there was a massive cloud of smoke when I accelerated up a hill a few days ago.

Update: Linkage was the problem, apparently, and a new one has been ordered (eventually!). Luckily it doesn't rain often in Spain 
€80 + labour seems like a cheap fix, if I'm honest....so thank ... |

Thanks all.
I had a look under the bonnet but there's some water-proofing type of trim that's covering the mechanical system and I'll only break it if I try to remove it.
I'll take the car into ... |

Thanks both.
I'll probably have to order a new motor and linkage then? Second hand parts for a 2011 RRS aren't easy to find here in Spain..... |

Thanks for the quick reply, Andy......

Also, don't you think it's possible that it's just slipped off the part that the arm connects to? |
