Hi guys, I just got the car out of a ghetto impound lot and nothing about my car is the same.

I now have a coolant problem, after five-ten minutes of normal driving, coolant is steaming out white, from the left of the engine block itself, right above where the turbos sit. It has asked for coolant 10 times now, and I have refilled it every single time. You can also put your ear up to the left of the engine and hear it boiling after shutting off the engine.

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

 

All the people that have had such a massive problem either had a bad coolant leak or a really badly destroyed engine.

Did your odometer jump up a few miles while it was gone?

30 miles added extra. I ripped the whole left side out tonight, but it had a long time for the system to cool and the steam to go away. It seems like it only does this after any boost, as in it won't do it to me just sitting in my driveway idling.

 

Well flogging the engine while it's cold could be possibly the best way to abuse it.

Dude, so the police(or parking meter people) impounded your car, and drove it 30 miles? Is that what you're saying? If so, I would think that it's time for small claims court.
Sorry to hear of your situation.
