I took my beloved to DPA for a full service on Good Friday,
Ian gave her a right good going over and replaced the fuel filter among other things after having to grinding the retaining bolts !
My petrol looked like P+ss so it really needed doing!
The result after a good service- better low down power and more responsive!
yeah hey!
I also rang the original volvo service dealer , the lady was very helpfull and friendly they looked after the car from 20,000 miles upto 120k and the clutch had not been replaced as suspected . I told her about my mods as she seemed interested in how reliable my T5 has been. ( original clutch , turbo and holding all its oil between 5k changes)
Next job turbo or clutch, which will need doing first?
Clutch is a little high but still works ok !
Boost seems better than before but I havent checked since service and drilled air box, I suspect still a 1.2 spike and holding 0.95-1 bar, but Im happy even if Murphys Skoda can keep with me to 50 !
