Thank you, that already helps. Now I have another question... Are oil leaks a common problem, I checked underneath the engine and it is pretty oily underneath, I know the tappet cover gasket leaks, but not sure if that much could have come from the top. Also, when I drove the car it only really starts pulling from about 4500rpm, I expected the turbo's to come in sooner, like +-2000rpm like other turbo cars. I was kind of dissapointed with the performance of it. It has 163000 km on the clock. Does that mean the engine has had it? As far as I can see all of the engine is still stock standard and no repairs or modifications have been made. Even all the clamps on the hoses are still stock. Brakes and clutch feel a bit spongy but I guess that is easily rectified with a brake fluid change. Does this particular model have a limited slip differential? What other common problems does this specific model have? Only 2 days since I saw the car for sale and I just want to make sure I won't buy a cat in the bag... I am a mechanic myself so I know what to check for when buying, I am just not sure about the problems that these cars have and what future problems I might end up with. Once again, any helpful information is greatly appreciated.
