Re: Car broke down, after owning it for 1 day

Has anyone checked for shaftplay in the turbo? When my turbo went out it drained all the oil and spit it out the exhaust, granted there was a huge black cloud behind my car, after i had the turbo replaced the block went, from the brief moment of having little or no oil. Thankfully i had a warrenty to pay for it. But i agree with peter, first find where the oil went, then get a decent mechanic to look at it with a boaroscope etc... see what your in for before you just trash the car.
