My 2007 full fat TDV8 3.6 has started blowing thick black smoke out the back when I take off. It's only done 80k miles. Am I right in thinking this is the dreaded turbo that's gone? What are the likely costs for a fix please? Thank you in advance of answers and advice.

it happened to mine twice with a related lack of power.


turned out to be the hose which was a quick and surprisingly cheap fix so don't panic just yet.
