    S60 Turbo Hose Recall

    Hi,

    Just to let people know that when my car was in for some outstanding warranty work they changed x2 Turbo Hoses which apparently blow off and create a huuuugee bang then a loss of power.

    Now I don't know whether or not the recall is only on D5's but it may well be worth ringing up and asking about other variants as it’s clearly a fault which needs rectifying.

    Andy

    It's a good thing they're fixing this under recall because it's bloody scary when those hoses go bang! Has it happened to anyone other than me?...
