Newbie Allroad oil burning issues!
Hi To all. New Allroad owner here. Many. Thanks in advance for any help dispensed! Brief history. Bought a really really clean 2003 Allroad, 166k. Owner told me he'd done the belts, airbags and turbos. He couldn't find the paper work as he was moving house so he said he'd send me the paperwork, I know I was too trusting.... Within an hr of picking the vehicle up, I had no AC, blows but warm. Windshield washer not working and most importantly a prominent smell of burning oil inside the cabin. Then I noticed when I stopped grey smoke and again a strong smell coming out of the exhausts, possibly more prominent on the passenger side. called the owner numerous times and surprise surprise he's not answering his phone, straight to voicemail. So, for my unusual apparent trust in this guy it looks like I've inherited a large and expensive bag of problems. I would be eternally grateful if anyone of you Allroad experts can help me out before I have to confess I've just bought a lemon!!!! Many thanks Paul.
