Safe to Drive?
 
I have a car that runs great but is having some issues and I want to tow it to PFS.

Issues:

Check Engine Light Code 10 (sensor on underside of intake mani)
Smoking Turbos (thanks to the fact that I probably didnt fit an oil return line right)
Low Boost

I guess im wondering if I have to have it towed or if I can drive it about 30 miles to PFS.

Thoughts?

I'd say you'll be able to baby it there Steve. 30 miles isn't that far...Sounds like you'll have someone following you anyway to drive you back (just in case you do break down). :icon_tup:

Personally, I'd just stay out of boost as much as possible and make sure your oil's full before you leave. :)

I think it should be safe to drive as long as you have somebody follow you just in case anything happens. I drove my car to a shop to get a coolant leak fixed once, about the same distance 30 something miles. I had my eye on the temp gauge the whole time and had somebody following me. The coolant did get low, but not low enough to cause any overheating

Drive it. Take it easy. Should be no problem.

Nice avatar :)
