Hi guys,

Recently i bought 1992 soarer 2.5TT and in just next day my head gasket blown off, but my mechanic said the whole engine need to be changed ( which is a week ago). i bought a second hand engine from jap wreckers. Mechanic said the engine is good. but now cars drinking more fuel and performance is very less, not only that the engine oil leaking blowing black smoke even after 20min drive. i can feel air leaking somewhere and if i accelerate i can feel the vibration inside the engine which is weird. last problem if i turn the steering left side i can feel something is rubbing inside.

I went to other mechanic close to my place he was discouraging me not to use soarer cos he is not fimiliar with this kind of car. Can anyone help with this problem please. anyone know who works with soarer in Adelaide. Your reply is much appreciated.. cheers

The rubbing could be due to an intercooler pipe blown off, this would also account for low performance and poor fuel consumption.
Are the turbos still boosting?

And you might want to find another mechanic, anyone that tries to tell you not to use a particular car because he is not familiar with it probably wouldn't be the best mechanic to start with.
He could have just pointed you in the direction of someone that is familiar with Soarers.

Thanks Rob, Turbos working good but air blowing out from the filter at higher rpm, the power steering been fixed. But the performance and exhaust noise like gun shot in the morning still makes me worry. My mechanic said he want some time to ask with other regarding this problem.
