Hey Folks ...

re: 2001 S40 with turbo, 140,000 miles

Took my car to the Specialist and he replaced the timing belt / tensioner / pulley, VVT Gear, cam seals front and rear, crankcase seal, serpentine belt, two hoses to the oil cooler, and the 8" U-shaped hose at the end of the long PCV hose going into the banjo bolt at the engine block. Total cost = $ 1,700us after a "good guy" discount of $250

Picked up the car, went for a 45 minute ride on the highway, and while pulling into my driveway:
** white smoke coming from the engine compartment
** checked the oil = almost full, recently changed the oil + filter
** Zero / none / no coolant in the overflow reservoir
** Intercooler rubber 14" hose by firewall going down to the turbo was completely disconnected at the top
** One hose at the oil cooler was completely disconnected, the one closest to the front of the car

Misc:
** The three hoses were replaced due to oil leaking on them from faulty seals
** The seals were leaking due to a PCV system clog, entire PCV system has been replaced
** Hot day = 90 degrees
** Car ran super on the highway, speed "limit" = 60-70mph
** Stopped on the way home to have a Hot Fudge Sundae to celebrate the car repair
** Timeframe = 45 minutes on the highway, 5 minutes with Sundae, 15 minutes to home at 35mph
** Didn't look at temp gauge while driving, but no Check Engine Light
** Specialist told me I probably need a coil + car was sputtering about a mile from home, kept the revs up; the sputtering at low rpms has been an intermittent problem for a while
** Car was towed back to the Specialist and now waiting to be looked at

What potential damage can be determined right now ?
What future damage will only show up in a few months or greatly shortened life of the Turbo, etc ?

Comments appreciated !

Regards to all,

Tom
