Hello all. I need some advice please. I have a 1999 Polo 1.9 diesel SDI.

Sometimes I am travelling down the road when all of a sudden I get a massive power loss and plumes of blue smoke coming from rear. If I stop for ten mns then restart everything is then fine. Temperature is ok. This may only happen once every 10 miles or once every 100 miles. It is very intermitent.......

Your thoughts please.......
