This does seem to have turned into a for sale thread, especially as I may have sourced a new (to me) car!
I'll pop over to the sale forum and open up a new thread.
Alex.
So I wouldn't be off my head to ask for £500 as it sits?

Ooh! Curly wurly! I lost a filling to one of those.... It'll have to be pickled onion Monster Much. :smlove2:
Pics should be available tomorrow.
Alex.
She passed, no problems. Well, just a sidelight bulb needing replacing! No advisories.
Got to be worth a little more now.... ;-)
Alex.
MOT booked for under an hours time, just off now!
I'll let you know how I get on.... ;-)
Alex.
What value would she be likely to have, if sold privately?
Alex.
Nothing yet, just starting to look and have not found a replacement.

Hi Guys,
The time has come that I could really do with an estate, so I'm going to need to sell my T5. :(
I'll have about £3k and my car to spend on a decent petrol V50.
Thing is, I have no clue...
At the moment, I would be happy with a correctly working standard car!
More horses and 'torques' would be welcome, but I know that the money is just not there.
Alex.
That's a good way to start the morning, a quick local dyno run! :B_thumb:
Not all good news though, only making 206BHP at the crank and something is still not quite right.

The boost...
Quick update.
I put the recirc valve back on and the driveability is much improved. Whether that is just due to me knowing that it is back on and how it should be working, or a real improvement,...
In? Would that be to shorten the actuator arm?
Might do that tomorrow along with refitting the recirc valve.
Alex.
While torque could be 10% or more out, it was reading high before swapping the pipes.
At the same time that the dyno man read 4psi, torque was reading 6psi.
She does not feel as quick or...
All of the pipes were replaced about 3 years ago and feel in good condition, none perished or hard.
Alex.
Almost...
Swapped the pipes over and there is more boost! Just not quite enough.
Torque is reporting 9psi, so that is better than before but there is still something not quite right.
I did hear...
Not embarrassed, just disappointed with myself. Also not that I connected the wrong pipes, but that it has taken me THREE YEARS to get round to finding out what I did wrong!
The pipe from the...
I have just had a quick look in the works car park and I think we may have found the problem...
The pipe that is capped and was connected to the recirc valve, is also connected to the bottom of the...
All three pipes are connected to the TCV, only the end that was connected to the recirc valve is not as Volvo intended.
Alex.
That is the thing to check tomorrow, I think that the pipe to the recirc valve does not come from the TCV.
I have capped the pipe from the recirc valve, not the TCV.
Alex.
I will check that the recirc/MAF hose is connected correctly.
Alex.
Cool, that diagram corresponds with how I thought they would be connected.
The recirc valve pipe has been capped and should not leak.
The TCV is the right way up and was brand new from Volvo...
The pipe that connected to the dump valve has been capped with a bolt and cable tie, so it should not leak...
Alex.
That makes sense, thinking about the operation of the turbo and wastegate.
Should be able to check/test the sensors.
Alex.
