Yup - read the codes if you can. Also worth searching on here to find out about the little elbow vac pipe which is known to split, leak and give you the lambda light on the Phase 1.

TCV (BCS) hoses are 1/4 inch / 6mm. Go with re-inforced silicone (Samco) or some decent internally braided SAE fuel hose.

The wastegate is essentially a controllable turbo by-pass valve for the exhaust gases - as such, it is used to vent excess exhaust side pressure to control the boost the turbo produces. So, it will...

I'd say if you've got symptoms from tickover upwards then it's less likely to be the TCV, however, depending on the state of tune you're running, you could be pushing positive boost around 2000 rpm...

You might want to consider internally braided SAE fuel hose as well - I replaced all the vac hoses on my TCV with this stuff and it works really well.

When I had the roof on my Phase 1 V70 re-spreayed, they didn't re-seal the holes which are there for the roof rails (my car didn't have any) and I had water p1ssing in, down my drivers door and into...

My simple advice, for what it's worth:-

Early D5s have a known possible injector problem - AVOID
I've noticed several early D5 flywheel/ ring gear problems reported recently - CAUTION
Early V70s...

My Phase 2 had the tiniest of leaks from the heater matrix o-rings - that along with the pollen filter having been installed back to front resulted in badly misted windows. Have a good feel around...

There's nothing to stop you running some polyetheramine based fuel system cleaner through a tank anyway but it won't give the same results as a proper clean as per Jmthan.

If this is the problem I think it is, there's a fix for it. Basically there's a tiny little micro switch near the CD mechanism which gets stuck in the wrong position but it can be fixed just by...

I've never driven the six speed box but I'd imagine you have closer ratios but a similar or same final drive ratio to a standard 5-box.

Suppose the advantage is that you can always be at or near...

The Griffin product isn't bad and I ran one for a while on my Phase2 V70, which has the integrated ariel, it never struggled to pick the signal up at all, although mobiles do cause bad interference...

Well, the fly-by-wire set up might feel less consistent, this is because the computer is ultimately deciding whether or not it can safely meet the demand of your right foot based on feedback from...

I'm running some Redline Si-1 through mine this weekend as it goes although I'm expecting to have to pull the injectors and ship to Jimathan also, at some point.

The handbook does mention allowing a brief cooling period following 'heavy load' driving conditions. As per loadsamiles, taking it easy in the last few minutes of the drive should suffice.

It’s been on the cards for a while but courtesy of a forum member I’ve finally managed to source a nearly new PA11-VOL.

OK, according to my old TCV we've got:-

A - RED - Turbo Compressor
B - YELLOW - Wastegate Actuator
C - BLUE - Vac tree

I'm not saying that the hoses are causing your problem but I read that...

RED - down to the Turbo Compressor
YELLOW - Wastegate Actuator
BLUE - Vac tree at the bottom of the Intake Pipe

Yes, I looked into the plastic hoses as far as I could, no sign of any emulsion so sounds like I need worry no more, for now.

Thanks for all the advice, made the job a whole load easier.

Sounds horribly familiar:-

Firstly – you’re probably better off starting a new thread about this as people may not pick it up as part of this IPD TCV thread, which is more for information. You’ll...

Not having a UK direct supplier is a bummer and as you say, when the TCV loses the plot, it's not something you want to wait for.

The TCV hoses on my 9 year old V70 look 'ok' but I did have to...

Just for clarity, this post relates to the IPD Heavy Duty Turbo Control Valve (TCV) as a direct replacement for the standard fitment Pierburg TCV on a 2001 Phase 2 V70 T5 running an off-the-shelf...
