super smoking om601
Looked at a w201 190D 2.2 just now that has crazy smoke coming from the exhaust, like it smoked up the whole block in about 5 minutes. Is it worth buying? Its got a 5 speed and a clean body. Anybody know how difficult it would be to rwbuold a 601? Thanks guys
It also had an occasional knocking in the front of the engine, I wonder if it all might be a problem with the vacuum pump?
larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Buy it cheeeeep. Smoke is oil/coolant consumption. vac pump, HG, injectors, rings, or a holed piston. How much power does it have? probably worth it if under 500

It was definitely oil smoke, and since it was constant it leads me to believe its either sucking it into the intake somewhere. Hmm, so how does oil get straight into the intake, or straight into the exhaust? The engine seemed smooth otherwise, except for the occasional knock coming from the front of the engine. Vacuum pump? Apparently all of this started right after he changed the oil

The car is two hours away and I work 6 days a week so I cant be going back and forth trying to fix it before buying. I think I might buy it anyway, since I almost bought one a month ago for close to $3k and this is way cheaper. So if I can't fix it, I can always buy another 601, or maybe turbo 602
