This is what my mechanic has e-mailed me:
Marc, your car needs a turbo and the vac pump is leaking oil down
the back side of the engine. We pulled the air tubes off the thottle
body and down to the inter cooler it`s full of oil and making it run
badly. Let me know what you want to do. Thanks, Bill.
He has quoted me a price of $1,600 (not a SAAB dealer).
I do not have smoke coming from the car, and the boost gauge shows the turbo spooling. I do know it shudders/shakes (has done it in the driveway and on the highway). I have been able to drive up hills and go down main street... Should I trust what he is telling me or should I seek advice from another mechanic? BTW $1,600 is hard for me to come up with right now so if this is the issue what options do I have to fix it?
Marc
