Alright so im 17, have three jobs and am in the top 1% of my class in highschool, not trying to brag im just giving background to my story. I bought this 91 tsi awd talon realizing that because of the age i'd have to do some work but i fell in love with it.
However this car has only brought me problems. I replaced the turbo because the one on it was bad and shortly after my car overheated and blew a head gasket because the mechanic didn't replace any of the coolent. One week after i got it running again the clutch went out. Because of funds it sat in my front yard for about a month and a half. I found a friend that showed me how to do my clutch and the one we got from autozone was the wrong one and went out 3 days later. After all my woe's it ran perfect for about 2 weeks.
Then one night after going to the races, no i didn't race, i came up to a stop light and my car was engulfed in smoke. My oild return line had somehow snapped, i had replaced it 3 weeks prior, and leaked out a large amount of oil(my oil gauge is broke). I just learned today from my dads friend that there is a hole in cylinder one in my head and i have to replace it because it is leaking all my oil and smoking(this hole was caused from my incident on the freeway).
I honestly dont know what to do now. I love my car so much and don't want to get rid of it but i seem to have the worst luck with my car
