    First volvo need help a few problems

    Hello im new to the forum having braught my first volvo 2 weeks ago been after one for ages. I have got a v70 2.3 t5 1999.

    When I braught the car the engine light was on and sounded like it was misfiring cleaned plugs and car ran fine engine light coming on and of. But 4 days ago the car started feeling dodgy which was because of the upper engine mount bush give way and since then then turbo has got loud hissing noise after 3000 and a ticking noise which sounds like its comming from the front of the engine bay I have also got a leak appeared which is dripping of the bottom left of the rad closest to engine. The last two days the engine light hasnt come on atal and the car is lacking power when turbo kicks in its nothing like when I got it two weeks ago and since the power loss the engine light hasnt come on. I also gave it a service today new plugs.oil.oil filter. Distriputer seal but no difference

    Any help would be appreciated im not to clued up when it comes to newer cars turbos etc

    Thanks sean

    Check all the turbo pipes and vacuum lines for cracks/ splits as it sounds like you have a leak somewhere.

    850 tdi - sorely missed.

    Rads are prone to leaking as you describe, ticking could be tapets.

    I agree, I think it's an intercooler problem, it may have split, which would also explain your leak.

    Samco hoses now on still have the hissing noise. I can't hear it with the windows shut but can with windows open mainly passenger side its louder. Also when I first got the car as you do having a bit of fun it would dump of in first gear but no longer does it. Any other possibilities before I check the intercooler? Thanks

    Could be a broken turbo, I had an MR2 Turbo few years back and one of the impeller vanes broke damaging some others (poss dodge spelling), strange whizzing noise and no power. Solution was a whole new turbo

    Is the hose from the airbox to the turbo still fully attached? Also maybe the recirc valve is leaking or had a vac hose adrift?
