hi all, i've got a query regarding the hose that connects onto the actuator. does it have to be a certain length or certain size internal diameter? my car was fitted with an mbc which i have now removed, i also bought some new fuel hose but it has a slightly larger bore diameter and i've shortened it to probably half the original length and i've been told today that it is definately not boosting right by a volvo mechanic.
At the moment the boost needle is only just going into the white and it doesn't pull you back in your seat like it should. I've just had the new pcv kit fitted today because i was getting oil/ slight cream, and pressure coming out of the dipstick (and it was smoking on tickover). The mechanic said that none of the holes were sludged up when removing the catch tank, so when i got back home i took the air pipe off which connects to the turbo and there was oil in the bottom, i checked the sensor which sits in the pipe and the small nipple was completely blocked, fitted all back together after checking all pipes for holes and it's made no difference, i still have a rough idle (i've cleaned the idle valve out the other day).
Could it be my coil on its way out? or if my turbo was caput would it still run reasonably ok or would it just smoke it's tits off.
sorry to go on but i'm getting to that stage where i don't want to spend any more money on it.
cheers jamie.
