Don't forget that the shaft will have a bit of play in it because the oil pressure makes it run true but when there's no pressure it will woble a bit.

I Have a brand new turbo (not for a volvo I am sorry to say) and that has a good amount of play in the shaft.....

My brother has a Volvo garage in Nomansland in the forest. I think he charges a bit less and does not make anything on the parts. Between him and his mechanics they have over 30 years main dealer training so he knows a bit about them....... I am soooooo glad I have a brother in the motor trade as th...

As soon as your nipper sees the pop up head lights he will forget all about other cars.

Should be OK with the child seat in the back as I take it he is no longer sitting in a rear facing seat?

Sure thats a mark 1.....but then a mark one turbo in red did go for more than 1500 last week. Like 1800 or something
Is it not back on Flea Bay now?


Maybe nothing wrong with the car but it always makes me think twice when that happens.....The seller has not given a reason for re listing either??

Sounds like it might well be, the smoke is a sign that the bearings might be going and this might give you a bit of play on the shaft so the vanes are touching the sides, so I would stope boosting and get somone to have a look otherwise you might turn a dear job into a f*#king dear job!!!

I don't think I have a leak as the vacuum/boost gauge stays pinned but I could well be wrong.
Its so stable and low 800 when its cold but flies up when its warm.

As the revs come ddown when I take the foot of the throttle I get a slight blip at 1600revs, Is this possibly related?

Changed the ht leads tonight and the stttering has gone :hopping:

Not sure about the idle but one less thing to worrie about :)

What a pain in the ass it is to change the leads, they are on a mount with a breather hose over them that's pined by the inlet manifold. Another 480 five minute job!!!!

It might be the anti knock sensor or if its over boosting it might be the fuel pressure safety device cutting in ?

My brother did check the ht leads with a fine mist of water from a spray bottle and he did say that there was some arcing from the leads but it runs sweet up until the stuttering kicks in so I am not that hopeful that it will cure it but they are on my to get list but at the mo there is no overtime ...

I have the same sort of problem. Idles fine when first started but after a very short period (30sec - 2mins) the idle climbs to 1200rpm and holds there rock solid. I also have another problem when I accelerate hard, it works fine until it gets to about 3000-4000 revs and then it starts stuttering an...
