1982 245 GL Turbo questions 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be Laurence on  Tue Dec 12 17:18 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I just bought a 1982 245 GL Turbo at an auction for

$1000. It has 406000 km � mi] on it. It was

really looked after. It has no rust. It has the wiring

problem of the insulation turning to powder and I replaced

the fuel pump relay once. I really enjoy this car! It was

built in Canada.

It is a 4 speed and overdrive. It has cruise, PW, air,

power locks, 5 spoke GLT wheels, Lamda Sond. It is burgundy

with a tan interior. The cruise just quit working.

I have a car that doesn't exist. The fender tag says the

motor is part of the B23E family but it shows in the

manual only the B21FT being the Turbo.

The questions are:

Is the engine really a 2.3L? Was it turbo from the

factory? Anyone have HP rating for this motor?

Should there be a "turbo" or "intercooled" badge on the

tailgate?

Is this a GL with a turbo option or is it a GLT? It

doesn't have any red trim inside.

Any idea why the cruise would just quit?
