'97 9000 CS turbo failure Posted by Bryan [Email] (#542) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Bryan) on Mon, 10 May 2004 07:12:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
This weekend I went to Philadelphia to purchase a car that I was high bidder on Ebay for. When I test drove the car It had no turbo boost ((although no boost gauge on the dash made it hard to determine exactly) and there was white smoke in small amounts coming out of the tailpipe when I pulled off the freeway after test driving it. I also noted that I could not hear the hooter/turbo blow off valve working while driving it.Is this a turbo on it's way out, a bad valve or a combination of the above? I would really enjoy buying this car but need an accurate diagnosis. Can't drive it back to my saab mechanic 1 1/2 hours away. Anyone have ideas?
