Hey guys, just picked up a 2002 VR4 Type V about a week ago. Trying to read up on it as much as possible. This is my first turbo car, I'm very impressed. I will be keeping you guys posted on my experience. As far as I know, there are only three or four VR4's down here in Dominican Republic, so there's very little local info I can dig up.
So far, there are two things that concern me with my car. First, the "traction control off" light is on, as well as the check engine, and the switch on the dash doesn't do anything. Took it to the shop this weekend and they checked everything and said it was fine. They didn't have a scanner that fit, but tod me to go back later this week, and they'd have one for me.
Second, there's a bit of smoke coming out of the exhaust the first few minutes after startup, and it smells a bit like burnt oil. This car only has 56k on the odometer and looks like it's in excellent shape.
What do you guys think?
