Doesn't use a drop of coolant.

Not particularly using much oil. Always needed a top up every now and again but definitely nothing that I'm concerned about.

Loved my car in the beginning....

Never been hugely impressed with the fuel economy but it is a 2.4 litre engine so I accepted it would never be as good as my old 1.9 TDI.

Consistently got low...

B5244T is the block size shared across the various power output versions on that engine. (That being the 2.4L 5 cylinder.) The B5244T5 is the 260 horse version.

I've ordered the heavy duty front wish bones, which come with better bushes and bigger ball joints....

Hopefully that should future proof it.....

Nice........

What did you pay for it in 2016?

What a sorry state......

Good luck with the fix up!!

Thinking of spending some coinage on the old girl this summer and doing a total overhaul of the suspension.

Have priced ever bush, mount and etc for Parts4volvo....

Already did the front shocks...

Really easy to replace the side I've done. The other side...... tricky, as its cam sprockets off. I only had a new cambelt fitted about 1000 miles ago so I wont be doing that side for a long time.

Owing to confusion I have only done one of the seals.

Most parts outlets confusing call them "front" or "rear" camshaft seals which made me order one of each. When in fact, "front" means the cam...

"edrive" button is like super eco mode (will make engine stop/start). Sip away at the diesel....

That must have been some parts bill!!!

I could be wrong but I think alot of the starting issues were with the plastic throttle bodies on the PSA 2.0 D (4 cylinder) engines found across the earlier V50/S40 cars.

Love the Vulcan.......... :biggrin:

Gonna try the standard ECU back in when I'm off at the end of the week and take from there. I think I'm being over picky with the car.

Thanks

When I say it didn't used to do it, I cant remember if it changed after replacing the original ECU with the RICA one. The car has been on/off the road numerous times in storage over the past five...

I have a boost gauge. She only max's out 11/12 psi.

She does have a rica ecu fitted. Maybe I should try the original back in it and see if it sorts itself out. Least I would know either way.

I've inspected from the turbo to the top of the intercooler. The reducer pipe on top of the turbo has seperated internally and I thought I'd found the culprit. Got a replacement and its still exactly...

Hopefully this works........

My 850 R howls under boost, anything above 80% throttle. It is really loud.

Goes like a train, just cant figure out why its doing...

Pics asap

I had a S80 once. "Cruise" came on, but as soon as you steered it knocked itself off.

I replaced the circular connector behind the steering wheel that connects all the buttons on the wheel to the...

Nice wheels.......... and ouch!! Bummer

For sale on the bay.

Got a D5 V50 R design at long last so not required anymore :)

"busy" engine bay :)

I checked out all my plugs the other day. I had oil down at least 2/3 of the plugs hole. Been there for some time. It was nice a syrupy!! All cleaned out now. Replaced filler cap seal. Another thing...

Blimey Lee, take a breath... :)

Thats not a picture of my car, its one I found whilst trying to figure out what the pipe was supposed to be connected to. I even had the 850 Rs bonnet open but it...
