I have owned a 1g Talon TSI AWD for 4 years as my first car. I want to get a 2g now and I have selected the 97 as my body style of choice. I know that the turbos have a problem with a walking crankshaft and one of the sensors that reads from it. I would like to know if there is anything else I should look out for. I have been reading through the forums but I want to know if there are major problems not just situational problems. Just list the model and major problems you know.
Thanks, :p

DSM trannies are notoriously bad, but you prolly already knew that.

Oh yea, I forgot. I also heard that the turbos on DSM motors tend to die out at about 125,000. If you're looking into a 97, you prolly don't have much to worry about right now, but it's something to think about.
