Hi guys,
I need help to verify that I have the T7 sludge issue (02 9-3 Se). My research in this forum seem to indicate so.
I was driving last night "semi-spiritedly, I was in boosting in 4th gear when suddenly the clutch "dropped out" , I lost power, the car was chugging and the oil light and triangle light was on and my boost gauge was surging back and forth between yellow and max red.... I babied the car to the side of the highway and the car stalled.....I had it towed to my house and I tried to start it this morning....the first few second it was idling fine the turbo gauge was surging again, the idle was really rough....and I see thick white smoke coming from the exhaust....so it is the sludge issue everyone was talking about?
I always uses castrol full synthetic and change the oil every 5K ...I was suppose to change the oil again this week. besides that my car has the PCV#6 and BCB stage 1 tune.
Help!! :cry:
