Bill... Thanks for the info. I checked for oil in the coolant resevoir... wasn't any. Checked the dipstick for milky residue... seemed ok.
there is some pinging, hard to notice from within the cabin, but it's definitely there. The vibration isn't too bad.... my 96 9000CS (running ok) has much more vibration.
While it was running, it seemed to smell quite foul like burning coolant. And although I went out with a digital camera this time to photograph some small amounts of white smoke coming from just to the right of the turbo, it wasn't replicated this time.
I'm always suspicious of some mechanics myself, but he was just suggesting that I sell the car as is.... wasn't trying to talk me into performing any work. I just can't exactly sell a car in this current condition.
Does the pinging point towards the balance shaft or are there other possible culprits?
