Hello to all. New on this forum but not to the marque having owned several Volvo's over the last four decades. 240's. 740 estates. 740 Turbo. 760. without any major problems despite the "Starship" mileage of some. However the current 2005 V50D Sport with 224k miles is letting the side down a little. The turbocharger has started to eject oil from what appears to be the exhaust coupling and causing the resultant blue smoke coming up from the back of the engine compartment. This occurred from start up after an oil and filter change. I doubt it is the original but if so it has been amazing. Just how difficult is the turbo to change out on this model? It looks like removal from underneath? Any advice greatly accepted.
On another issue does anybody know what pressure the vacuum pump should pull in inHg? Thanks all.
