Hi:
Lately there's been a strong exhaust smell when the engine is running and I'm standing outside the car, so I thought it's the usual exhaust pipe behind the cat that needs to be replaced. I took it to Majestic Muffler near my house. They put it up on the hoist and showed me soot marks where the actuator arm connects into the turbo, which they don't work on. They recommended Mr. Turbo/Zex Toronto Turbochargers on O'Connor and Eglinton Avenue. I called them and got an estimate of $2200 over the phone to replace the entire turbo.
Anyone else had this issue? What did you do to fix it? I'm planning to keep the car for another couple of years, so would like to get this fixed before it gets worse. Any ideas/suggestions/workarounds are appreciated. Thanks.
