Take off normally, car slowly builds speed until turbo kicks in. 1.9 DCi diesel. Turbo replaced last July.Twice since then,have had to put 2-3 litres of oil in to top up between changes. Oil present in turbo pipe, before turbo.In the last few weeks, if I take off with increased revs. no problem and turbo kicks in just under 2000 revs. no smoke. If I take off as normal, car builds speed slowly, until turbo kicks in, she then accelerates away with a large cloud of grey / black smoke.
No problems at cruising speeds, but if I accelerate hard, with revs below turbo kick in, car takes time to build speed, turbo kicks in and car accelerates with smoke trail until what I presume is all the unburt diesel is gone, then clear exhaust.Has got worse since originally noticed.
