My Turbo whistled for about a year gradually getting worse. While driving the noise stopped and also the power was gone. I was able to drive it but had no power after 2000 rpm. I ordered a NEW turbo and drove the 300tdi for about a week doing about 200 miles mostly round town. The black smoke got worse and so I left it standing for 4 days. The new turbo was installed and it worked. But on test drive no power and loads of black smoke. The local garage that fitted it said the exhaust system is totally clogged up with oil deposits.
I am not sure what to do now. In the past year new gearboxes new injectors new cylinder head gasket fuel lift pump and and and....now this, can any one help and advise what could be done or have had the same s**t happened.
Thanks Paul.

Les I think you are right. I have blanked off the EGR and redeemed a bit of power and almost no smoke at all. I think I have to clean out the whole system ( intercooler, manifold ) from severe Marmite contamination, ( I am a Marmite hater anyway ) but the severe lack of power still worries me, am I looking at the wrong place as its nice to have a new turbo but I obviously need advice. Thanks Paul.
