Well my Business partners friend has a s60 LPT which i sorted the etm issue out on, He brought it down from Birmingham and it was chucking out oil from underneath.

Fearing the worst (REAR MAIN) as the PCV needs doing i took the belly pan off cleaned the mess up and took it for a short drive.
Seriously what a mess, Turns out the Turbo return was p**** out oil, and someone had bin the before with silicone sealer BODGES!

So after a clean up, i fitted a new o ring from a 850, turns out this was to thick, The chap had to be back in Birmingham tomorrow so i disected the New O ring in Half and it fitted a treat.

Took her for a drive and no leaks, but what a pitta to replace as the turbo has the water feed at the bottom this has to be removed to be able to pull the turbo return out from the block. Still all done now. and tbh the s60 was a very nice drive.

Yup, had that on my dads 850, someone bunged silicone sealant all around it. Obviously it doesn't last long.

S60/V70R are a different league to other P2s, as is the running and maintenance costs. I'd still like to throw one around the local B roads tho :D
