voorakid 0 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 heres all the problems i have at the moment....my 2.8 vr is bogging, it misses when i change gears, i can only drive it fast if i hold the gear for a while (almost like it doesnt know what gear its in) it boggs and then drives normal, its started to overheat now but i realized my fans were off, their on now but it still overheats but slower...it also smokes when im standing still and keep the revs up, also smokes when i drive hard and slow down... its more of a lighter smoke than dark...any suggestions please? i am from south africa and my mechanic told me its going to be R12000 to fix... i dont see why if a 2nd hand motor here is R7000..thats R12000= £1084.99 or R7000= £632.91 Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 It would be worth carrying out a compression test first to get an idea of the internal condition. What did your mechanic friend think was wrong to cost R12000? Link to post Share on other sites
