I picked up a cheap 9-3 convertable (1999) 2.0T. It surprisingly has full service history and is in extremly good condition and obviously has been well looked after. I have a query about the engine, how do I know what the HP is? I don't think its a 150 as it seems quite quick.

It has a boost gauge. Just topped up the hydrolic fluid in the hood pump (was a bit slow) and noticed the one of the hydrolic rams has a leak around the top seal. I will see how long it lasts before playing up again and maybe then use some Lucus hydrolic stop leak. Remap may be fun but need sort strange clutch related noise first (thrust bearing?). Still for £1k can't be bad.
