Hi all new to this site , brought vogue tdv8 86000 miles, smoking like mad took to main dealer today said it was egr units on both banks, £ 1085 to fix asked them i asked them if it could be turbos but they said they have to do this first before they could tell does this sound right to anyone.

Hi Jason.
Do you have a warranty on the vehicle? I got mine done under warranty as after only 2 weeks the same problem occurred.
I'd say you'd definitely notice if it was turbo. Egr valve replacement sorted the black smoke out for mine.

If its covered under warranty, you might consider an independent. I was quoted £600 to replace both a couple of weeks ago. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Thanks for quick reply did your oil level drop because of the problem.

they should be able to tell from fault codes - or dynamic test

split turbo pipe will smoke as well (plenty of black smoke of full throttle)

however if you are rapidly loosing oil you should stop driving it

Thanks for advice would dread to think of cost if turbos were broke. Would have to find Indy to do it

The Indy I use only suggested I replace mine and only as a result of investigation a noise I was hearing. No drop in oil level.
After reading several threads, I went down the route of a diesel additive (EGR cleaner), which seems to have done th trick go now. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
