Our 1996 9000 CS began bucking when accelerating from toll booths. At almost every shift, it felt like the engine was cutting out. The dealer said the waste gate was sticking and greased it with lubriplate. They also said it would be necessary to replace the turbo to replace the waste gate. I didn't know that LPT engines had a waste gate. And lubriplate doesn't seem like the right kind of grease to use on something that gets hot. Is this dealer pulling my leg? /Bob Anderson
