Do you mean you have to take the turbo off the car to change the turbo oil return gasket & O ring ???????? what a ball ache.

There is a cross member going directly under the turbo. It is not the same as the 850. Plus It is a complete pain in the ass to do. You might remember my issues earlier this year.....however with the right number of socket knuckles and lots of new swear words you don't need to take the turbo off.
Good thread so far though.

That being said, I just remembered that I had to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets, hence why it was all apart

I was looking at a 2.0t the other day, thinking exhaust, sports cat and remap. Would that be the stage 3?

I need to check to see if you need downpipe but that is the one I want .should go well with the small turbo and fast spool up too .it will be perfect for road use

Thats what i was thinking, cheap to run and insure as well, would make a perfect car for my 20mile drive to work.

Soon as i've moved i'll be looking for either a 2.0t or a t4, more bothered about the colour, interior and condition than whether its a t4 or not.

Mine is metallic dark red the dark wheels should go well
So, Moving onto the T4 model, this is the first time i've gone over to anything other than French cars. Everything is now a massive learning curve and mildly more expensive!
She had a few problems when i got her;
Engine management light
Oil leak coming from Turbo feed return pipe
Dent in Rear of car
Plenty of dings and holes in body panels
As with any new car that you buy, you need to give her a full service... So monies spent later i replaced the Oil, Coolant, Spark plugs and even decided to do the cam belt.
The cam belt was the most irritating job on the volvo i've had to do yet... Once the bottom pulley was locked off, i had fun trying to counteract the top pulleys from pinging back every time the belt was put on...
After 4 hours of frustration almost throw the ratchet through the window moments the belt, water pump and tensioners had been replaced.
I won't bore you much more with Spiels, so i'll let some photos talk...
