Hi all,
I'm looking into repalcing my jetta 91 with something else and saw one volvo 1986 740turbo intercooler. The cars looks good from outside, inside ok but the leather seats are worn out...however when we took it for a ride it seams very weak. No power when tried to accelerate, the turbo gauge moves to the middle on the yellow but the car just slowy accelerates. The owner says it is the turbo that needs to be replaced. I was reading on the formus that when the turbo goes then I should probably see some smoke, but there wasn't any. Is it really worth it to even try to buy and fix it?
P.S. the car has 155 000 km or m not sure now.
