How much do you think the R would be worth?
She's an 2003 S60R Black Sapphire with 114,000 miles. She's only got 3 previous owners.
Full service history and stamps. I've got tons of paper work....
I'm not sure what to do now... The R is blue smoking and been told it's piston rings.
PCV has been replaced, turbo has been checked and getting low compression so it's either rings or valve stem...
Yeah the garage removed it all. None of the hoses where clogged, actually in good shape. They shine touch with mirror down the channel to check and all clear. I watched them do it.

PCV has been checked today. Nothing clogged all clean but still replaced oil trap, breather hoses and bonjo bolt etc...
Car is still blue smoking.
Turbo has been checked and nothing wrong...
I'm on 113,000 miles Lee. PCV hasn't been replaced. I tried to do it this weekend but struggled getting inlet manifold off. I couldn't get to bolt near thermostat. I also couldn't get thermostat off...
I have removed intake pipe. There's no play in shaft and seems to be alot of oil in intake. Plus looks like gunk stuff from oil catch can.
So this could be PCV clogged up? If there's no play in...
Thanks for the reply mate.
Ok I have replaced the seal on oil cap, it's now a tight seal...
I'm no mechanic but I know my car and I'm certain the issue is the turbo as I said before the car...
I have also done a glove test on dipstick and oil cap.
Good or bad?

Since I've had the turbo fitted. I've had enough but problems... With oil everywhere and white/blue smoke.
I've been told it's not the turbo. But the car was running perfectly fine before getting...
I painted calipers and placed brembo stickers on. I must say they look good.
Also in the process of refurbing pegs.

I had ago of fitting the turbo myself but I couldn't get to a bolt on manifold.
So seeing I brought the Turbo from Shem. I went to Shemtek Automotive to get it installed. A very long day!

Every time I get my car washed, paint keeps coming off my front bumper.
I've used touch up paint but doesn't stick...
Without getting a full spray is there anything can be done? Could get...
I'm still not sure if i'm going to install turbo myself, never done it before but i'll always give it ago.
If i do it myself what will need replacing?

I've just received my a used K24 Turbo with billet wheel :D seeing that the seals have gone on my K24. This was a bargain so i couldn't say no!
Turbo is in good condition. Now I have a spare k24...
is that not low numbers for a hybrid k24 (brand new)... I made more power with an older k24 and not a hybrid plus seals have gone. I'm still not convinced that the numbers i got where accurate from...
Also seeing that my turbo is on it's way out, i've brought a used k24 with a billet wheel :D then i'll have a spare k24 and can turn that into a hybrid.
nice, a lot quieter than mine... They did yours in 4th gear.
also are you the one breaking an s60r on ebay? You still got all 4 doors.
I went to Amd Essex this morning and went on there dyno, to see how much power she's making.
She made 350.3Hp@5498rmp and 371.1lb-ft@3132rpm not bad for a 14 year old car with original turbo. Now...
very nice spec list. if you don't mind me asking, how much did Owen Developments charge to hybrid the k24?
Yeah I need to re-route the oil catch hoses. The mrs was getting abit annoyed me spending all day on the car, when we needed to go food shopping. I just wanted to get it all hooked up and working.......
that's true, I'm not sure what was used previously. I'm going to flush coolant and get genuine volvo coolant.
Since installing CBV today, i lost quite abit of coolant.
Would it be ok to use below for the time being?

I replaced bango with the straight nip one. Was having troubles with bango.
