    Td5 blowing so much grey smoke

    I need advice plz! My td5 has lost power, blowing grey smoke and there's an oil leak also. I have no idea why as it has just had a new cylinder head and gaskets put on. It's been fine for 3 weeks and now playing up. I feel the mechanics have no idea. Any advice would be great or if someone could take a look? Many thanks

    I'd be having a look at the turbo hoses, one has probably collapsed internally, this will give a 'drastic' lack of power together with plenty of smoke (dark smoke).
    Don't know about the oil leak, wheres it from ?

    I suggest you get it back to the mechanic. Being so soon after major work it may be connected with the work done.
