I have the opportunity to own a 97 1.9T but the turbo needs to be replaced. The exhaust smokes I'm told. It would be my daily driver and it will take a week to get a new turbo so I can put it in. Can I still drive it in this condition until I get the new turbo? Thanks so any help! Cant wait to be an Audi owner!

 

blue smoke? that means its taking oil not so good

 

What do you mean by "taking oil"?

 

The owner said it's blowing oil out of the exhaust.

 

meaning that you have to add oil, some cars thake so much oil that you dont even have to do oil changes just keep on adding 1 quart every time you get gas its hella bad

 

Damn that sucks! The owner thought it was the turbo needing replaced. Is it a major pain in

 

i am not an expert, maybe it is the turbo lol you should have someone look at it before you buy it

 

The owner is actually a mechanic. He wants to do a trade for my explorer xlt so he can carry his family around. Its a '97 A4 1.8t.

 

Just cause he's a mechanic doesn't mean he is being honest...get it checked out by someone who isnt biased

 

exactly maybe he is just trying to get it gone...
