I've purchased a 2007 2.5 diesel Sorento. 200k on clock. It runs fine but there a really significant turbo lag and some black smoke when I really put the foot down. Runs smooth generally though. Mechanic checked it out at last device. He said the turbo has a bit of forward and side to side movement and injectors could also maybe need some TLC. I'm keen to get it good for the long haul but is it worth the investment? We are doing an engine compression test before jumping off any bridges....but everything else seems solid.
Any thoughts on 'worth it'? Or just drive as is? Thanks a ton for your input. Steve
