No sure if this is the right section to be posting, however;
I have been trying to find the source of some black smoke coming out the exhaust under acceleration/ gear change. Changed MAF sensor, new air filer, checked MAP sensor. No luck.
Today I was looking under the bonnet and saw a very disturbing hole in the the Turbo waste gate actuator. Picture attached. Just wanted to ask what issues this may cause? lack of power? black smoke?..
Obviously I am going to need to replace this. But, for the time being is it dangerous to drive?
How much is the replacement part? / difficulty to fit?
Many thanks,
