Just bought a 01 93 came with a bad turbo it turns out. Ended up fixing it a week ago with a new TD04, looked good went on easy. After a week tonight it was running and I noticed the oil cap wasn't on, fine I pushed it down. Guess the car didn't like that, it immediately throttled way down and starterd oil smelling plumes like before. Fast forward to later and it's still doing, now the oil was competeltly low. Am I just in for bad luck and a weird coincidence, or did my rebuilt turbo blow? Either way I'm not sure what pushing down the dipstick/oi cap could have done to cause that? Any ideas or could be another weird thing? Any help is welcomed!
