Turbo Question
Posted by Damon Rogers (more from Damon Rogers) on Fri, 9 Jun 2000 08:57:25
Now a Saab repair question, if the turbo goes in an 88 900 turbo, how much should I plan to spend on fixing it? It still works, but the car is starting to use oil, and the head gasket, rings, and valves are fine. If I idle the car for 15 min or so it starts puffing black smoke/soot. I was told it was the turbo, but the car still performs fine right now and the turbo sill boost the same, it just uses some oil. Does this sound right or is my machanic full of it?
Happy Saabing
