Hi
Car running poorly and starting problems (see below)
Did a VCDS scan all well bar these 3 faults - block 16, 56 and 76.
Had been aware of the rear parking sensor problem and have had poor radio reception in past OK now though, obviously neither of these in any way related to how car runs. Seems unlikely but could the steering column faults be causing this much havoc?
Thanks

Hi car running poorly despite new turbo
Down on power - only really obvious once fully warmed up.
Most apparent over 2000 rpm, at which point power delivery is not smooth - very jerky.
A bit more of a smokey diesel smell than it used to have.
MPG has dropped by about 10 mpg
This car does not have a DPF - never did.
It has been converted to SMF.
Has had a reconditioned turbo - prior to this was even worse.
EGR valve cleaned, new MAF sensor, new fuel filter.
Torsion value is 0.5 degrees
It all started to go wrong after a service and cam belt change - may or may not be related.
