Intercooler hose to OTE pipe. Slight split:D
Thanks for the reply.
I had a year 2000 C70 T5 which had a very similar issue. The clamp on the lower intercooler hose was past it, so sorting that fixed the issue.
Been up to Northumberland for the weekend and done just shy of 700 miles, 29.2 average MPG.....6 speed manual.
However, 50 miles or so in to the journey and whilst accelerating, the car suddenly...
Thanks!!
I think that we get a lot of car for the money in most cases, and we're just addicted to them. If my local Volvo indy hadn't have brought the R in, then I probably wouldn't have one now....
LOL, OK.
I'm at 3 x v70's now so no more for me either.
Thanks Adrian.
You mean because of fuel prices that you wouldn't have one now?
So my local indy brings a few cars in from Japan and he mentioned the flash green V70 R to me. When it arrived, i took a video for someone else who was looking for one, but all of the time I really...
You might be making a good point there. The garage called me on Friday to tell me that the EGR clean had been done, but that I have some sort of ECU issue.
Let me tell them what you say above and...
Holy thread resurrection.
I have exactly these issues with my D5 185. Using a litre of oil every 200 miles, constantly in and out of limp due to the soot filter full.
Off for the EGR clean...
Hi Adrian, the bill was £731 but I have 4 new tyres, drop link and ball joint to get through the MOT, dipstick oil seal to cure one oil leak, aircon re-gas, DPF clean and other jobs too. I'm pretty...
Just spoken to the garage and the DPF was totally blocked. They sent it away to be professionally cleaned so that I have a genuine Volvo part as opposed to a cheaper after market part.
They've...
Looks very nice indeed, and reminds me that I have a p2 V70 which has now been stuck at my local indy for 2.5 weeks...………………..lol
Thank, she does need a very good polish though and she is now 20 years old!!
I will run her until something drastic goes wrong with her, but she does need several rust spots sorting...….both rear...
OK, the garage have had my car for 8 full days now and I still don't have her back. I can see that she has been MOT'd as that runs out 24/6/21, so that's great. However, I would like her back in the...
Here she is, with a few changes since she left you. One of the rear BC's broke so she ended up on Nivos, but BC's still on the front. Black projectors that I had spare, egg crate grille and I think...
Hi there, absolutely talking about Victor and the car has never left me since the date that I bought it from you. I did part with the 19's after a while and went to 17's. Awesome car!! What are you...
I have absolutely no smoke or anything noticeable from the exhaust.
Let you know how I go with her, if she gets sorted and what the fault/s were............
I've been buying the Castrol Edge 0w30 A5/B5 oil and it's costing me 2p/mile in oil never mind the poor mpg as well. I seriously think that my C70 T5 costs me less to run.
Popped by the garage but...
Oh dear, I have all of those symptoms with the mpg also being 36-37 at a push for a 6 speed manual, and driving economically too!!
Anyway, the garage have had the car for 4 days now, so I may as...
Thanks!!
The litre of oil is vanishing somewhere and at the moment I don't know where it's going.
Then it's in limp more than out of it cos of the soot filter issue. Then occasionally she...
My V70 D5 185 is at my local Volvo Indy for the MOT etc. She needs at least 4 new tyres, but more worryingly is a possible turbo issue, DPF issue and the brakes.
She has been using 1 litre of oil...
I have something similar with my V70 D5(185). Engine sounds normal but no power and EML on.
My car is waiting to go into the garage, but they think that from what I have told them that it is an...
Just resurrecting this thread as we're talking about my old Gul elsewhere.
I was quoted £2.5k for the full respray, and this was by a bodyshop that I use every year for one car or another, and their...
Yeah she's a manual, so thanks for the tip and I'll take a look.
Yeah, easy cheap fix and I'm 5p richer now!!
I seem to have an intermittent reversing light now, but I need someone to reverse the car whilst I watch, or go and find a good reflection somewhere.
