DaveT Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Entire cooling system. Was it ever overheated while low on coolant? [causes failing head gaskets] Headgaskets replaced? When were the timing belts changed? Search this forum for turbo threads. Care history? Was it left stock, or modified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger87ea82t Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The turbos have a tendency to crack the heads between the valves if they are run low on coolant and over heated. Make sure it is not loosing any coolant or you may have some relatively expensive repairs to fix. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
