Hey guys, this is my first post, and I'm 100% new to dsm.
I bought a 95 tsi awd with 79,400 miles about three weeks ago for $800. They said all it had was an oil leak.
The oil feed line for the intake side of the turbo had a pin sized hole in it and I got it braized for free.
Then I got under it.
Apparently the cat had been cut out the day before I bought it (got it at a dirty buy here pay here lot) . And now I have a bank one sensor 2 heater circuit failure CEL.
My rear control arms are almost rusted out.
And my brake lines for the passenger rear rusted out and busted as well.
My local muffler shop said he could make a 3inch turbo back exhaust for $450
The o2 sensor is the only CEL code it shows
But when I drive it, (havent driven it since I discovered the brake lineproblem) I can smell gasoline in the cabin and it doesn't shift out of first gear (or any gear) until 4500 RPM at Full Throttle (followed by letting off a bit) and it accelerates very slowly.
So basically, my question is has anyone else ran into the shifting problem or is it normal?
Where is a good place to buy suspension components, why could I be running so lean, where can I find a full cheap exhaust to get me by for less than $200, and how should I go about repairing the brake/fuel lines while I'm at it?
