This allows oil to get in the fuel, and more importantly lowers cylinder compression. Eventually needing a new head or engine.
If it sound like it has a exhaust leak just behind the engine the egr cooler is probably burnt up. This allows exhaust to blow out on the backside of the engine.
If it feels really slow and there's alu shavings in all the intercooler pipes someone may have dropped a screw in the turbo inlet  . I just put a new turbo on one after a simple machine screw precisely machine all the fins off the turbo.
If it stinks and blows black smoke all over its a normal running high millage 1.9l. |
Would you recommend one? You make them sound like potential money pits and I mean in a real bad way, not just a modding cars way.
