I've got a 9-3 2.2 TDI, MY 2002, 125k miles. Coming home last night, I lost power (but with no engine management light so a "proper" drop in power not engine created), then lots of oily looking and smelling smoke and a rattle from the front right (from the driver's seat).

It's been recovered home and I need to get it somewhere on Monday but it sounds very much like a turbo to me, I don't know whether it might have done other damage to the engine?
