"Whooshing noises & smoke" - D5 SE Auto

[steveshaw]

A couple of weeks into my D5 ownership I had a heartstopping moment.
Driving home from work, I heard "whooshing" noises I thought were static on the radio (anyone remember radio Luxemburg ?) I turned the radio off but I still have the noise, now I start to worry, the engine seems to lack power upon accelerating, then I look in the mirror, huge clouds of black smoke ! now I imagine the worst, blown piston, blown turbo the lot.
Anyway, I'm only 30 miles from home, its not making any bad noises and if you use very little throttle there is no smoke.
I get home slowly but OK. During the slow drive home, I'm trying to work out what the problem could be.
Connecting the noises with the lack of power, I decide to look at the pressure side of the turbo intercooler system and see that hose from the turbo to the intercooler has come off at the intercooler, 5 minutes with a screwdriver, the hose is securely on and the car is perfect again.
