well the V70 is heading for the crap yard shortly she needs to get me to DEVON in 2 days and still engine light on and NOW LOOKS like the new turbo is blown!
So far fitted
NEW TURBO
ALTERNATOR
EXHAUST SYSTEM
ETM
I bought the car with a blown turbo and shagged exhaust - NO advisories of any type and no engine lights. Drove back from Wales like a dream (except no power and smoke) so by simply putting some new parts on - Ive screwed the car! WTF have I done to cause this???? so many flipping vacuum pipes even the RAC bloke wouldnt touch it. I asked the local garage how much for diags and a fix and got the BIG intake of breath and sigh OHHHHH BLIMEY MATE - £££££'S
Now ROUGH IDLING (even after the new ETM I just fitted) up to 4000 RPM SURGING.
SMOKING AGAIN and oil pissing out of the intercooler pipe so TURBO GONE!
SMOKE FROM OIL FILLER (but PTC is clear and PRV)
STRONG SMELL of unburnt petrol and backfiring into turbo (like an anti lag sound) just waiting for flames out the back now!
basically the engine is SCRAP. Ive already spent more than the heap is worth on it so thats it TOTALLY FECKED OFF.
My reliable C70 is DEAD with no MOT ( front brake imbalance) so the Devon holiday is finished PLUS I get charged for the hotel as well.
NICE - VOLVO - you have crapped your 100% record with me for 'reliability' DEFINITELY NOT RELIABLE
FUMING is not the word!!!
GOING BACK TO BMW!!!!!!!!!!
