Re: '90 Turbo 200 -> REAL hard to start ?
Steve,
Thanks for asking. Mutiny's fine, being on the hard in coastal NC,
including tarped & strapped down.
As for the Audi, sitting up for a few days doesn't affect it's current
malady. The mechanic says that since it intermittently emits white smoke
on startup it may be a head gasket or crack between cylinder walls,
since the smoke is possibly anti-freeze.
Thanks again for your response.
Cordially,
Courtney

Re: '90 Turbo 200 -> REAL hard to start ?
Courtney,
Good to hear about Mutiny - the news coverages of damages from those storms
seemed to always include footage of piles of boats.
To see if the smoke is antifreeze, a simple test is to get a glass jar, and
hold the open mouth of the jar behind the tailpipe until you get a good
quantity of condensation in the jar. Put the jar in the freezer. If the
liquid in the jar has not frozen by the next day, it's antifreeze.
A compression/leakdown test will show you if there's any leakage in the
cylinders - also, if you hold an inspection mirror over the spark plug holes
of a warm engine, if there's an a/f leak into a cylinder apparently it will
show up as fogging on the mirror.
Cheers!
