I am sorry if I am in the wrong section My Mate has a Renault Kangoo putting out black smoke sometimes with a loss of power just for a couple of seconds he has changed the ERG valve and also put in a second hand Turbo someone was telling him it might be the Exhuast can anyone help as his is losing the plot at this stage.

check vacuum hoses, might air leaking.

I would be taking it to a garage with proper diagnostic equipment and not be forking out money on random parts on the hope of fixing it..

See if any of the pipes going into the turbo have come loose first. Could be a simple fix.
