ste91 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 How many miles on the clock?The blue smoke is most probably the turbo.I'd have a good look over the rest of the car aswell, how much did you pay for it? Quote
barnz18 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 its got 114k on the clock but it had a new engine in 2006 so its done 80k now.ive got £5700 of reciepts of the work that has been done to it.i swapped it for my BMW 316 compact and £300.do u think i got a good deal?how much is a new turbo including fitting?

ste91 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Getting rid of a BMW is always a good deal. German crap. A new CT9 shouldn't be much, and could probably fit it yourself. Quote
