Blue Smoke - 1999 - Out of Warranty Posted by Joe [Email] (#444) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Joe) on Fri, 2 Aug 2002 16:25:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Week1 - 10 miles from my first day of vacation at the beach my 9-5 blew out a huge plume of smoke. There were no dash warning lights prior or during the smoke show. Brought it to Saab dlr #1, they determined it was the turbo, replaced the turbo for $$$ and the car still smoked, the dlr then wanted to put a short block in because the engine was "noisy". Told him thanks anyway and took it to my mechanic(Week 2) who took the turbo off cleaned out the old oil that dlr #1 failed to do. The car still smoked whenever he got on it, but far less, and no noise from the engine, he thinks the the turbo is bad. Took it to Saab dealer #2(week 3)for new turbo, He checked out turbo , he says the turbo is good could be the intercooler ??! Or something throwing oil into the turbo, I'm so %$#^%$#%^$#, 3 weeks, 3 different diagnoses, still not fixed, anybody have any suggestions on how to handle this ? Any help would be greatly appreciated
