great info, cheers!! :)

I'm led to believe only 1st and 2nd gear ratio's are different?

I just did my exhaust manifold the other day,and it had 5 seperate metal wafer type gaskets,I also got an inlet gasket at the same time, 1 complete gasket,made of green paper.

Lol, I just asked this question a few weeks ago,and also on the Volvo owners club forums,as my box is U/S.. according to everyone I asked,they are all the same,just the post 97 (not sure of exact...

Yup,them were the days! nothing,nothing,nothing then WHAM,wheelspin into the nearest ditch...where have all the Uno turbo's gone?? I've been looking for one for ages,to get the engine to put in my...

Thanks again Adam,I've been doing a bit of reading and learning over the past couple of days...Audi's had K-Jet,and early Delta's had a sealed carb,so all this electronic stuff is newish to me!...

Lee, go to the photobucket webpage, I think you have to start an account (its free) and the click on upload pics,-browse,then another window will appear,and you can then click on the pics you want...

No probs mate :),we all get "blank" moments sometimes.. (I hope??-or should I see a doctor??)).(note to myself,put brain in gear before using keyboard...)The answers are all yes to the above,car runs...

Damn,I'm slowly realising I paid too much for mine,just had a hell of an afternoon replacing the cracked exhaust manifold..did the return seal at the same time though! :) After stripping it all...

Mate of mine went to see a 95 T5 saloon today,he said everything checked out,109K, years MOT,5 months tax,full Volvo history,full leather,air con too,but when the car was started,it filled the street...

I meant when an MBC is fitted with the BCS still connected,it even mentions this in the instructions that came with the MBC,that its a *bit* dangerous to disconnect the BCS,as then the MBC has full...

Thanks Adam, I'm new to T5's..most of my experience with Turbo's have been with Audi's and Deltas. (old skool).Always keen to learn!

Could you explain a bit more, what actually measures the boost...

Its the BCS which tells the ECU to "cut out"- its what gives the ECU info on the pressure being made bby the turbo.I bought an MBC off ebay for 20 quid,not much to them really,as long as they are...

Pretty much spot on,but you can keep the BCS. See Volvospeed,some pics here too. http://www.volvospeed.com/volvo_performance.php

Look under Modifications, Dawes Boost controller

If the MBC is bypassed,it shouldn't be on any pipe to the BCS. It should be between the wastegate actuator and inlet side (the pipe has to be cut)

BCS is the "Boost control Solenoid" it lives,attatched to the side of the airbox,and has 3 pipes and an electrical connection to it.If it has been bypassed the pipes will hae been cut,but the...

Jeez,some of those prices are scary, I pay £650 for a motor trade policy,which covers me and my wife for any car,I've never insured an individual ca for years,apart from the Challenger,which was £112...

Have you bypassed the boost control solenoid? If you leave this in line,the ECU will see the increase in boost and cut the ignition..

Run the engine,then pull the fuel pump fuse until it dies to release pressure,makes the job a wee bit nicer (not much though)

If you keep the recirc on,the car will mist up badly,as it stops fresh air getting into the car.Maybe thats why it switches off?

Remember there are 2 types though,already had prolems here......

Hmmm, shouldn't be enough to flatten the battery though,its an LED I think?

I just fitted mine the other day,works perfectly this time!!

1 question though,the low temp warning light,should it be on with the ignition off,if its below 2c?
