Turbos around town
RE: Ken DelGrande <kdg@icbdfcs4.fc.hp.com>
Ken, I'm glad to hear the Audi really protected its occupants (I feel better
about my own '89 200T now). As far as the Turbo, mine is oil-cooled with
its own separate oil cooler for it. I've owned it for almost a year and my
wife is the one who drives it the most (to keep the miles down) and mostly
around town serving as Taxi for my son... Even though she's very careful at
driving, let's say that if anything goes wrong, "its the battery" she says;
that's the extent of her knowledge, so no cool-downs at the end of the trip,
no warm-up at the beginning, no nothing!, and the thing has performed
flawlesly. The previous owner's wife was also the principal driver, and it
was the same story. The car has 87,000 miles now, to give you an idea of the
Turbo's reliability... knock on wood!
