I found this 1993 940 turbo last july with 28000 actual miles on it. I didn't really want a turbo, but the miles were so low I couldn't resist. I have noticed that it uses oil, but I was hoping it was my imagination, but now reality is setting in. It is using oil (damn) but now, this morning the wife started it and it ran real rough when it first started up, and when she drove away it was smoking!! Say it ain't so!! This just makes me sick! How can an engine with such low miles be an oil burner/user? I have an1987 240 that has never used a drop in 165000. But I had a 1980 240 that never used a drop in 1500 miles until it sat for three years, then it used a little oil between changes. Does sitting/not being driven much cause the valve seals to dryrot and therefore use oil/burn oil? Obviously this car hasn't been driven much either.
