P2 2.3 T5 models - what to look out for?

[Leeds_finest]

Well I just don't get how mine had two separate cylinder misfires and after switching the coils round and driving and clearing codes twice it now says only missing on one cylinder - maybe a connector was loose on one of them and just one coil pack was actually dead?

Anyway, just leaving GSF with new coil pack, £37 inc vat for OE quality.

Lol the TC is shocking - does literally nothing!

[M-R-P]

What tyres do you have?

[Leeds_finest]

Not sure will check.

[Leeds_finest]

Any ideas why the second misfire has gone?

Maybe just a dirty contact on one of the plugs...

[Leeds_finest]

Oh and it's a white label magnetti marelli TB, doesn't look like the original sticker though...

[Leeds_finest]

One coil pack later and she howls again

[V70 Graham]

Glad your all sorted mate

[Leeds_finest]

Thanks me too

Simple fix to be fair and having worked on my S60R before it gave me a head start on the V70.

Are the calipers on ours 'ATE' calipers with 60mm piston?

only reading this now mate back in the fold this a keeper?

[M-R-P]

No idea mate.
At least you're running on all 5 again

I'm very shocked you have a white label marellii etm - it should be long - gone by now. Best look into how to replace it mate

[Leeds_finest]

Hi mate how's your car?

Well after the S60 I went for a cheap 1994 BMW as the S60 skinted me out and lost me a fortune

Didn't feel like I had enjoyed the five cylinder Volvo's so I'm back in one and I must say I'm loving it!

Shame about the lack if grip going to FWD from AWD but it drives really nice for what I paid!

[Leeds_finest]

Yes mate finally running on five, took it out earlier, such fun!

Hmmm it is a white label but the label looks as though its NON original as there's a bigger outline where something else was before? Should I just drive it until it goes pop?

[M-R-P]

Some were "cleaned/reworked" there's also a software update that hides the effect of the unit wearing - out.
When it packs-up, you'll get a fair bit of warning... enough time to source a replacement.

[Leeds_finest]

Ok any idea on cost?

[M-R-P]

Ebay has several. Don't know if you can actually just plug it in, leave it for an hour and drive off or you need to have it coded but they aint to badly priced

[Leeds_finest]

Ok cheers bud

[Leeds_finest]

So are there any good, cheap ish, bolt on turbo upgrades for these engines?

Modify the original one?

Just leave it as it is?
