Hello, thought I would join up here, I have been driving a v70 d5 for the past 9 months and absolutely love it, it is standard, well unmodified for now, but hopefulyy that will change. Just need to sort my air bleed from the turbo actuator and sort the fuel consumption and then can begin to play,.

hey thanks for the welcome, I will be getting photos of little v up soon, and unfortunately I am getting 30mpg off the diesel :-( basically the problem appears to be something with the turbo actuator/ or the rubber pipe that goes into it or the turbo. I haven't managed to get it diagnosed yet, but I seem to lose boost and get a dump of pressure on gear change and then get some boost back. And then the car goes into limp mode for a while, but when loosing the boost the consumption is going through the roof. I am not sure if I have explained that very well, Im not the greatest mechanically.
