I recently purchased a used 2012 Cruze RS LTZ 1.4T
Car has 125k on it, previous owner had paper work with everything done to it. It was too good of a deal to pass up for how it was maintained. The biggest thing for me was that it had a new turbo installed at 117k and had the paperwork to prove that it was done. When I was driving it home, i smelled oil burning after i turned the heat on and didn't think much of it at the time. I had a cold air intake laying around I installed in this cruze from a previous one i owned. I popped the hood and noticed there was oil on the front valve cover so i bought a new gasket and replaced it, i also replaced spark plugs at this time. A few days after while i was driving home the car started to stutter as it was building up boost so i put the stock air box on and it has still continued to stutter. I checked the throttle body it had oil build up on it which leads me to believe it to be a bad turbo installation(?) any ideas on what this problem could be?
Thanks in advance for any/all help!
