The cars with K24s have gaskets on the turbine housing. Running without them shouldn't cause a problem. If you removed the V band clamp holding the core to the turbine housing you must clean all...

As Colin said, the turbo doesn't have a gasket. Check the exhaust gaskets if they're the individaul type that there isn't one upside down, as that will cause a leak and is an easy and a quite common...

turbo doesn't normally have a gasket as far as I can remember.

Well the R arrived this morning on a low loader and is tucked up into my yard, (my old T5 is eyeing it up very suspiciously !). I will have a good snout about the engine this weekend and clean and...

Just had a quote from a local indy to do my clutch, dmf and slave. I nearly fell off my chair...

Now I've seen the clutch for about 150, but the DMF is frightning -...

After a bit of Googling and looking around the forum it seems the question of 'connecting' to the Phase2 models via the OBDII port is asked on a reasonably frequent basis, with often unclear answers....

Hi all.

I would like you all to know that i have decided to step down from the admin side of things now that the new crew are in full swing. I will no longer be associated with the running of the...

Have you disconnected the battery since youv'e changed the MAF? when you diconnect the MAF the car should revert to a in built map so the car still runs if the MAF fails.

If you put the MAF on...

As above. I clean my MAF with half a can of carb cleaner. In short bursts so you don't get it too cold. I'm not brave enough to use cotton buds or anything - they're bloody expensive lol (the MAF,...

sounds like the replacement maf is dead sir.

Genuine volvo = Bosch.
Try your local motor factor but insist on bosch.

Salut!

I found they weren't much dearer that my local factors either.

For the price of them I'd sooner have genuine.. Especialy if you pm RUFE and tell him your a member on here, you'll get a decent discount off the normal price.

The only problem with concentric slaves is that if they start to leak you obviously have to drop the box to replace it. If you were thinking about changing your external one to a concentric forget...

Now, back to the car!

Having had a full belt service (180k) done last Friday, I had my power steering suddenly dissapear last night.

On inspection, my new auxilliary drive belt was lying separated in the bottom of the...

That's right, just the front drivers side wheel, wheelarch lining, move the alternator, serp belt etc. I think the tensioners work differently. Was gonna do it myself, but didn't fancy getting it...

If the piston is ok, just change the head.

I had the front lambda go- didnt notice any smoke but the engine definately ran rough for the few days It wasnt fixed + had the management light on!
Strong smell of petrol, but fixed with no lasting...

Is it the original sensor? If it is and the car is beyond 100,000 miles it's time for a new one anyway.

Well as it has been mensioned a few times I thought I would post a quick guide on changing the Turbo withoutout changing the exhaust housing.

So when would this be advantageous? Well If you have...

I think I read somewhere that it's under the door mirror, not sure which side. There's a little nodule which hangs down a bit which can be seen from the driver's seat below the door mirror casing on...

What year is yours. It will be the same setup till I think it was 2003 or 2004 models then they changed to another style which goes bad as well.
But that fix works for all the...

Sounds like th start of a dying abs controller. You can bring it back to life with a soldering iron if you feel confident enough. http://www.freewebs.com/dacvolvo/absrepair.htm Look at this for...
