Clutch orderd today with jammie over at pfv New kit with release bearing s40 t5 one piece manifold gasket and turbo to manifold gasket also orders up cat back with Graeme and soon as it all is here car is going to have all fitted Inc an m59
On the subject of the clutch these seem to be getting quite hard to source must be a sign of the 850 ageing lol does an s70R run the same kit as the 850R?

[martybelfastt5]

[JT]

turbo to manifold gasket??

[martybelfastt5]

yep im fitting an s60 t5 16t with 3" angled housing jamie checked....... computer says yes i got one lol

[martybelfastt5]

well spoted jt .........just checked gasket with turbo and it dosent match mine has 3" housing this is for 2.5 housing has four bolt holes my turbo and downpipe only have three so am i right to assume i dont need one??? lol this is the housing and downpipe pattern

thats why I questioned it, but wouldnt want to over rule someone in the know!
the gasket looks more like it goes between the turbo and manifold,not the downpipe???

[martybelfastt5]

makes sense......................il stop talking now

but even checking it there on the s60R manifold im not sure but my volvo man will have the last say

[AndysR]

Nice little update Marty, can't be long before it's all bolted together

[JT]

makes sense......................il stop talking now

I dont use a gasket for either option

[p fandango]

yes that gasket goes between the manifold & the turbo. You do know the coolant pipes will need "adjusting" to fit as the they are in a slightly different place on me7 cars compared to 850's

[martybelfastt5]

yes aware of this pedro ........must check the turbo think it came with some lines but should be too hard to sort

[siamblue]

My KKK24 came with a gasket too manifold but all of my TD series did not.so maybe it has something to do with the exh manifold?

[partsforvolvos.com]

hi martin, yes I did get it for the manifold to turbo connection where it should be fine. sorry if I had a confused moment?

[partsforvolvos.com]

there is a downpipe gasket listed as well, do you need it, or are you doing something bespoke

[martybelfastt5]

ok so no mechanical updates as yet but the interior of my car has been bugging me so attacke that lol
first thing annoying me was my bobbled passenger seat

bought myself a little karcher wet hoover

some during and after shots leather on passenger seat bad as it was driver seat from french car might even recover it but as you will see when treated dosent look so bad




finished result


also done the boot pictures do it no justice looks like new!!


leon came in handy .......would love a new drivers mate near impossible i would imagine

oh not sure if i showed this before but i split down some s70 switches and replaced all my cream with grey...........the small things speak volumes lol reason is s70 stuff dosent fit in the 850 so i spliced them lol wasnt to difficult


sitll have to clean my headcloth but should be handy!!rest of interior done!

oh how i de bobbled a set of barbers shears lol down to number 0

[merc85]

Looking fresh buddy, how did you de bob it?

[S70T5Chris]

Can I have your gearknob and suede gator please.

Looking good mate.

[martybelfastt5]

merc just used a set of whal shears like barber use lol down to 0 took my time run over it several time vacing of what i was removing turned out well
chris no you cant see the price they are fecthing when for sale and truth be told i prefer a normal 850 gear knob lol

gav=

[S70T5Chris]

Sell me then, sell me. lol

[AcidicDavey]

I've used a plain old razor blade on alcantara myself or my man shaver lol, it's scary at first but truth be told you're not going to hurt the seats
