Hey guys, I just purchased a 91 Talon TSI AWD for $300 and I have a few questions.
First off is the radiator fans do not turn on, causing the temp to rise quickly. Also if you really lay on it when it gets to 5k rpm it sputters and bucks like all hell, is that an electrical problem?
This car started right up and has been sitting for a long time, this ladys brother had it and he died.
I would have it towed home, but I dont really have full confidence in the tranny staying in neutral throughout the whole trip. Should I be worried?
This guy was the second owner and he was 40 years old. The car was never modified, and it has 170k on it. Am I looking at a rebuild in the near future?
Thanks for your help
