Yeah, sorry about that. It's pre-Me7. A '98 V70 2.5t with 208k on t' dial.

Right. You've got me interested now, but there are a couple of things I'm unsure of. I know that all the answers are kicking around on the forum and that I should search, and that I have done....

Cheers, t5frankie. Kinda makes sense. Must work on improving the boost pressure! :)

Hah... Cool. Mail order re-mapping! What a great ide. Does he not have one to send out to simply swap over and return post the old one? Anyway, I'll try and give him a bell. Sounds just what the...

Sorry Claymore. Cross posted!
Turbo flutter? Thats a new one on me... Ummm.... is it harmful to the car?

Deffo re-circ operating. I've swapped the plumbing around and that confirmed it. Cheers guys!
Now the burning question. Do I prefer the ghostly whoosh that it now seems to make to the psst of the...

Ah. If it's he re-circ, then I have a wee problem. I fitted a dump valve and put a one way valve into the re-circ vacuum line. The noise only appears when the engine revs to about 2000rpm and I lift...

Just fitted a conical air filter to my V70 2.5t, wanted to make a bit more noise. It's worked, but when I lift off, I can hear a sort of echoing breathing noise, not unlike DarthVadar. Is this right?...

:grumpy: I'm only 30, but I feel quite appropriate taking "wally the wonder wardrobe on wheels" out for a Sunday Afternoon saunter with my flat cap wedged firmly on my Bryl creamed hair and slippers...

Jubilee clip is fitted, but only on one end. :o
Y'see, I succumbed to the dastardly ways of the supermarket... Found a pack of two clips, the right size, then glanced over to the right to see a...

Got the little ££££er! My car had a drip of oil coming from under the turbo. Turns out it was the oil return seal that had snuck out! Poked it back in with a bit of weld stick and will replace as...

I can believe that! Funny how the second time is a lot quicker, though ;)


Yup. About five mins after start up, it rises and holds rock steady every time. I'm off to swap the stat now. £8 is too...

Hey Mr Skidmarks. Thought that myself, so had it boiling in a pan and it opened and closed right on queue.
I hear a swishing noise from behind my dash, like water circulating, upon start up. After...

Smoke gone, so must have been remains left in the intake system.

However, (there's always a however!) my heaters started blowing cold again. Pisser. Has anyone got a diagram of the coolant...

Cleaned out the bottom port properly this time. Got a piece of weld stick and had a good furtle around. Got some crap out, but not what I thought it was. Good news, did all this and put back together...

Just been for a quick spin round the block.

Started her up and all was well. No smoke at all. Clean as a whistle. No back pressure at all.
I live on a big donut shaped road, and half way round,...

Hey mightywolf.
I replaced all the bunch of PCV pipes when I did the HG. The pipes had all broken up, so seemed like the ideal time to do it. Didn't quite realise what they did, though. If I had, I...

Just finished putting it all back together.

I've still got a little smoke from the exhaust which seemed to clear up with a bit of revving, but thinking that may be from the air hoses. I forgot to...

Hey ho, just spent a happy morning stripping the jalopy. Took the intake pipe off from the turbo to the inter-cooler.
Found oil inside...
Took the pipe from the air-box to the turbo.
Found oil...

Cheers for your advice on this so far!
So, got the car home last night, (Four and a half hour to do a twenty minute journey, cheers AA...) but was dark, cold and wet.
Nice and sunny now, so had a...

Genius! So just take the compressor housing off and remove the internals...
I'll have a check of the blades/shaft tomorrow night when I get the car back. At least that's nice and easy to get to!
...

Cheers for that "bomb"! Just the kind of reply I was hoping for! Doesn't look too bad a job, all the nuts should be fresh as I did the HG not so long ago. Not looking forward to the thrashed knuckles...

Well, actually it got into everyone else's! I felt like frickin' Batman, driving down the dual carriageway with a smoke screen hanging behind me! :cool:
Anyway, could do with a hand on this.
It's...

I'll take one in the morning if i remember...
Basically it is exactly the same as the one in the picture, tee'd into the same vac pipe. Found it in Halfords, in the washer component section. The...

:D got mine for £0-99 plus a quid p&p from some jap flea-bayer! Great bit of kit and with a charger to boot.
However...there are that many crap local stations, I'm finding difficulty getting a free...
