Noisy Peugeot Partner 2008 1.6hdi

[maritimesbob]

I recently bough a Peugeot Partner 1.6 hdi 2008.

It's terribly sluggish under load, on hills etc. Even a slight incline causes the speed to drop and I have to work down the gears.

There is a loud whine, almost like an air raid siren that is in sync with the engine revs. Turbo perhaps? It's also black smokey when the engine is struggling up hills.

I changed the oil yesterday, it was very black. I've only had this van a week, I will change the oil again in a week as it seems very dirty in there.

Anyone think I am looking at a caked up turbo and/or egr?

I will try and post a short video of the sound later.

The turbos and egr's are easy to get at on the 2008 1.6 hdi? I am quite handy working on cars, just not diesels!

Thanks

Ok, just been out to have a quick look, got someone to give it gas. Sounds to me it coming from the left side of the engine when looking from the front.
