This is my first post on this forum. My 2010 TDI has a problem during it's warm-up cycle. The car has 122 000kms on it. After driving 1km, the car goes into a weird mode. It happens for 3-4 days in a row, then stops for a few days.

Symptoms:
- No warning lights
- Loss of power
- White smoke
- Rough shaky idle with a diesel knock sound under acceleration
- Turbo lag when pulling off, at 2000 rpm it comes through strong
- When returning to idle, the revs drop sharply to 75% idle, then immediately kicks up to 1100rpm (briefly visible in video if you look quick)
I've been advised to sell the car, but I'm determined to fix the issue. The car is great and I can't just make this someone else's problem. Doesn't feel right.
Please help
